NEW YORK – The New York Sirens announced today that forward Savannah Norcross has signed a one-year Standard Player Agreement for the 2025–26 Professional Women’s Hockey League (PWHL) season.

Norcross, 25, rejoins the Sirens after spending their inaugural season with the club, where she appeared in 20 games during the 2024 campaign and recorded one assist. Following a strong showing with Luleå HF in the Swedish Women’s Hockey League (SDHL)—where she tallied 18 points (5 goals, 13 assists) in just 13 games—Norcross returns to New York poised to make an impact.

“Savannah’s return will elevate our team immediately,” said General Manager Pascal Daoust. “Her speed, consistency, and relentless work ethic bring firepower on the ice—and her dedication to lifting others makes her an invaluable teammate off it.”

Originally from Lynn, Massachusetts, Norcross began her NCAA career at Boston College before transferring to the University of Minnesota, where she totaled 36 points across 75 games with the Golden Gophers. She was eligible for signing as a former PWHL player.

“I couldn’t be more excited to be back in New York,” said Norcross. “This organization has a strong culture and clear vision, and I’m proud to contribute to something that’s growing in such a meaningful way. I look forward to giving everything I’ve got for my teammates and the fans who’ve supported us from the start.”

Listed at 5’7”, Norcross joins a forward unit that includes Emmy Fecteau, Taylor Girard, Elle Hartje, Paetyn Levis, Abby Roque, Noora Tulus, and Kayla Vespa—all signed for the 2025–26 campaign.
