**PWHL Toronto Signs Emma Woods and Daryl Watts to Two-Year Contracts**
PWHL Toronto is set to introduce some fresh talent for their sophomore season, announcing on Friday the signing of forwards Emma Woods and Daryl Watts to two-year deals.
Daryl Watts, 25, was a sixth-round pick by PWHL Ottawa in the inaugural draft and led her team in goals during the 2024 season with 10. “Daryl had a great season with Ottawa. She is an incredible offensive threat that has proven herself in this league. We felt adding some offense to our roster was an important piece to the puzzle,” stated general manager Gina Kingsbury. “We are thrilled to have Daryl join PWHL Toronto and to have her play in front of a hometown crowd!”
Emma Woods, 28, previously played for PWHL New York, recording two goals and three assists over 24 regular-season games. “We loved how Emma played for PWHL New York this season,” said Kingsbury. “Emma brings a 200-foot game and is very versatile. She has a high compete level, and her impact will be felt in our lineup. We are thrilled to bring Emma back to Toronto and have her join our team for the next two seasons!”
Woods and Watts are no strangers to Toronto, having previously played for the PHF’s Toronto Six, where they won the Isobel Cup in 2022-23. Both players are originally from Ontario.
These signings mark PWHL Toronto’s first free agent acquisitions of the off-season.
