BOSTON, MA– The Boston Fleet have signed forward Kelly Babstock to a Professional Women’s Hockey League (PWHL) Standard Player Agreement (SPA) for the remainder of the 2024-25 season.
“Heading into such a crucial part of the season, we knew Kelly Babstock would bring the spark we need on and off the ice,” said Fleet General Manager Danielle Marmer. “No one brings more energy and compete to the rink than Babs. Every game and every point is on the line for our playoff push and we’re excited to have her along with us for this push.”
