The Frost have placed star forward Kendall Coyne Schofield on long-term injured reserve with an upper body injury she sustained during Team USA’s gold medal run at the Olympics this month. The move is retroactive to Feb. 19.
In a corresponding move, the Frost activated forward Élizabeth Giguère from the team’s Reserve Player list and signed her to a PWHL Standard Player Agreement. She will be available Sunday when the Frost resume their PWHL schedule with a noon CST puck drop in Montreal.
Coyne Schofield, one of six Frost players to win gold in Milan, leads the Frost in goals and points this season.
“We are fully committed to supporting Kendall throughout her recovery, and our medical team will be working diligently to help her prepare for her return to the ice,” Frost general manager Melissa Caruso said in a statement. “Fortunately, Élizabeth has been training with us since the start of the season, and her skill and experience will be a tremendous asset to our lineup in Kendall’s absence.”
Giguère, who played her last collegiate season at Minnesota Duluth, was a member of the New York Sirens for two seasons and tallied five goals and eight points in 53 games before joining the Frost as a free agent. She won the Patty Kazmaier Memorial Award in 2020 and finished her five-year NCAA career sixth in all-time scoring with 295 points in 177 games.
