PWHL Minnesota acquired defender Sophie Jaques from Boston on Sunday in exchange for defender Abby Cook and forward Susanna Tapani in the first trade in league history.
Last year, Jaques became only the second defender to win Patty Kazmaier Memorial Award as the top women's hockey player in the nation. The Toronto native had 24 goals and 24 assists in 40 games for Ohio State, the national-runner up in 2023 after winning the NCAA championship in 2022.
Jaques, 23, was drafted in the second round, 10th overall, by Boston and played seven games with the team, with no points and a minus-4 rating.
Cook, 25, had one goal in nine games after signing with Minnesota as a free agent. She played four years at Boston University. Tapani, 20, was fifth on the team in scoring with five points (two goals, three assists) and is a two-time Olympic bronze medalist with Finland.
