Vancouver Goldeneyes forward Sarah Nurse has been placed on long-term injured reserve after suffering an upper-body injury.
Nurse played in the first game of the season on Nov. 21, scoring the first goal in Goldeneyes’ history during its inaugural sold-out home opener.
She had missed the last three games due to the injury, and the Goldeneyes announced Saturday (Dec. 6) that her long-term injury reserve designation would be retroactive to Nov. 21.
Malia Schneider from the Goldeneyes reserve list has been activated and has signed a Professional Women’s Hockey League (PWHL) Standard Player Agreement.
Vancouver’s next game is at home on Dec. 6 at 12 p.m. PT against the New York Sirens at the Pacific Coliseum.
The PWHL entered its third season on Nov. 21 with its original six teams: Toronto Sceptres, Montreal Victoire, Ottawa Charge, Minnesota Frost, Boston Fleet, and New York Sirens, along with the two new teams, Vancouver Goldeneyes and Seattle Torrent.
In Canada, Tuesday night games will stream on Prime Video, Wednesday night games will be on TSN, Thursday night games will air on TSN and Sportsnet. Friday, Saturday and Sunday games will air on CBC, TSN, and Sportsnet.
