The Fleet finalized their roster ahead of their first game of the second PHWL season.
Boston on Friday announced its 2024-25 Opening Day roster. Amanda Pelkey, draft pick Shay Maloney and camp invite Klára Peslarová were signed to one-year standard plater agreements, and Jillian Dempsey, Kelly Babstock and Olivia Zafuto will serve as reserves to start the season.
“Pelkey and Maloney add significant depth to our forward group. Amanda with her high IQ and ability to play up the lineup, and Shay as a reliable and relentless power forward,” general manager Danielle Marmer said in a press release. “We’re also excited to add starting Czech goaltender Klára Peslarová to round out our goalie trio, giving us incredible depth in that position as well. Babstock, Dempsey, and Zafuto are three players who no doubt can step into our lineup and make an impact on any given night. These are all important adds in improving our roster for Season Two and I’m looking forward to seeing our team on the ice in the season opener against Toronto.”
