Meghan Agosta has declared her intention to participate in the Professional Women’s Hockey League draft, marking her return to the sport six years after her last international appearance for Canada.
At 39 years old, the forward hailing from Ruthven, Ontario, represented Canada in four Olympic Games, securing gold medals on three occasions.
She is one of 235 players listed as eligible by the PWHL for the draft scheduled for June 17 in Detroit.
Currently, the PWHL comprises nine teams, with plans for further expansion in its fourth season.
Agosta’s last appearance for Canada was in 2019 during the Rivalry Series against the United States, although she did not formally announce her retirement from the national team until 2024.
Throughout her four Olympic competitions, she recorded 17 goals and contributed 11 assists over 20 games.
In the 2010 Winter Olympics held in Vancouver, Agosta topped the scoring charts for Canada, netting nine goals and providing six assists in five matches.
After the 2014 Olympic Games, she took a hiatus from hockey to enroll in police academy. In 2015, Agosta became a full-time constable with the Vancouver Police Department, coinciding with her return to the national team.
She currently holds the sixth position on the all-time scoring list for the Canadian women’s hockey team, with a total of 85 goals and 95 assists across 178 games.
