Surrey\u2019s Jenn Gardiner is staying in Vancouver for the next couple of seasons.<\/p>\n
The team annouced Wednesday (June 19) that Gardiner signed a three-year contract through the 2028-29 season.<\/p>\n
She turned down an offer from a PWHL expansion team <\/a>during phase two of the league\u2019s expansion distribution process. Since it was a foundational player offer, that means she was required to sign with any of the league\u2019s 12 teams during Phase 3, which began at 9 a.m. PT on Wednesday (June 10).<\/p>\n Gardiner, who grew up in Cloverdale, played for the Vancouver Goldeneyes in the Professional Women\u2019s Hockey League (PWHL) in the 2025-26 season. In her 2024-25 rookie season, she played for Montr\u00e9al Victoire before being traded on June 5, 2025, to Vancouver. She was one of the Goldeneyes first foundational players.<\/p>\n In addition to Gardiner, her teammate Izzy Daniel also received a foundational player offer during Phase 2 that she did not sign.<\/p>\n Daniel will also stay in Vancouver, as she signed a two-year contract through the 2027-28 season.<\/p>\n Gardiner and Daniels are part of the team\u2019s phase 3 protections. Sarah Nurse, Sophie Jaques and Emerance Maschmeyer were protected during phase 1.<\/p>\n About the Author: Anna Burns<\/p>\n I cover breaking news, health care, court, Vancouver Rise FC, Vancouver Goldeneyes and social issues-related topics for the Surrey Now-Leader.\u00a0anna.burns@surreynowleader.com<\/a>\u00a0Follow Anna on Twitter<\/a>.<\/p>\n
