Frost lose Abby Hustler to PWHL Hamilton

The Frost’s attrition through expansion continued Sunday as PWHL Hamilton announced that forward Abby Hustler has been signed to a two-year Standard Player Agreement ahead of the team’s inaugural 2026-27 season.

Hustler, who was under contract with Minnesota, but not protected by the team, has signed a new agreement through the 2027-28 campaign. She is the third of four players to be added by Hamilton during Phase 4 of the PWHL’s Expansion Player Distribution Process.

The 23-year-old appeared in all 30 regular-season games in her rookie season with Minnesota, registering 13 points (4 goals, 9 assists), and saw action in five postseason games. She was selected by the Frost with the 14th overall pick in the second round of the 2025 PWHL Draft and led the team’s rookie class in goals and finished second in assists and points.

Hustler, who hails from St. Louis, Prince Edward Island, is the first PWHL player from the province and will call a Canadian team home for the first time in her PWHL career.
