Laila Edwards is officially a pro. ✍️🏒⁣ ⁣ PWHL San Jose has signed No. 4 overall pick Laila Edwards to a three-year contract through the 2028–29 season, making one of the biggest stars from the 2026 draft officially part of the franchise’s future. 🔵🟠⁣ ⁣ The 22-year-old defender is coming off an incredible run at the University of Wisconsin, where she won three NCAA championships in four seasons and finished her college career with 81 goals and 199 points in 151 games. 💪⁣ ⁣ Oh, and she also added an Olympic gold medal with Team USA at the 2026 Winter Games in Milan. 🥇⁣ ⁣ San Jose GM and head coach Troy Ryan called Edwards an “exceptional talent” with “tremendous potential,” while Edwards said she “couldn’t have landed in a better place.” 🔥⁣ ⁣ A franchise-defining signing before San Jose has even played its first regular-season game? That’s one way to start an expansion era. 👀⁣ ⁣ #womenssports #hockey #pwhl #signing #lailaedwards
