PWHL Seattle announced Tuesday the team has signed first-round draft pick Jenna Buglioni to a two-year contract.
Buglioni, 23, was the eighth overall pick in the 2025 PWHL Draft after helping lead Ohio State to a pair of national championships.
The Port Moody, B.C., native scored 166 points in 170 games over five seasons for the Buckeyes, including a career-best 20 goals and 51 points in 44 games last season while serving as a captain.
'I am so honored and grateful to sign with PWHL Seattle,' she said. 'Being able to begin my professional career around such elite athletes is a dream come true. Also, seeing how engaged Seattle fans are, I am excited to help bring PWHL hockey to the best fans in the West.'
Buglioni was the first of six draft picks for the expansion Seattle squad. The forward also earned a silver medal while playing for Canada at the 2020 IIHF U18 Women's World Championship.
'Jenna is a cerebral player who excels in every zone and simplifies the game,' Seattle general manager Meghan Turner said. 'She's solid on the faceoff dot, demonstrates patient puck support, and shows up in big moments. Her work ethic, positivity, and competitive attitude will have a big impact on our bench and in the locker room.'

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — J.T. Realmuto hit a go-ahead two-run home run in the eighth inning, Kyle Schwarber and Bryson Stott also homered and the Philadelphia Phillies defeated the Seattle Mariners 6-4 on Tuesday night.

He also had an RBI single and reached on a catcher's interference call on Mariners backstop Mitch Garver.

Phillies benefit a 3rd time on catcher's interference call, this one against Mariners
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — For the third time in less than a month, the Philadelphia Phillies were on the positive end of a catcher's interference call. In the first inning of their game Tuesday against the Seattle Mariners, J.T. Realmuto was called out on strikes on a pitch by Bryce Miller that would have ended the inning. However, Realmuto argued that his swing was interfered with by Seattle catcher Mitch Garver — who was starting behind the plate while usual catcher and MLB homer leader Cal Raleigh was in the lineup as a designated hitter. The Phillies challenged the call, and after a video review, it was determined that Garver's glove did interfere with Realmuto's bat on the swing, and Realmuto was awarded first base. Last month, when Boston was in Philadelphia, catcher Carlos Narvaez was called for inference in consecutive games, in both instances allowing a run to score, one of them to end a game in extra innings. It was the first walk-off catcher's interference since 1971. This time, there was no damage as Miller induced a fielder's choice ground out by Alec Bohm on the first pitch after the review, ending the inning with Seattle trailing 1-0 thanks to Kyle Schwarber's NL-leading 44th homer. Major League baseball set a record in 2024 for catcher's interference calls with 100, which broke the mark set a season earlier when there were 96 infractions.
