The Isobel Cup champion Toronto Six have signed Breanne Wilson-Bennett to a one-year contract extension.

The 27-year-old forward from Markham, Ont., scored the second of Toronto’s four goals in a 4-3 win over Minnesota in the Isobel Cup final March 26 in Tempe, Ariz.

Wilson-Bennett scored seven goals and had five assists in 24 regular season games in 2022-23.

She totalled a goal and two assists in the Isobel Cup playoffs.

“For me, it was a no-brainer. I love playing in Toronto, I love being at home and playing in front of my friends and family all the time,” Wilson-Bennett said in a Six statement.

“I think the goal remains the same. We want to be a winning program and we want to win the cup again.

“Every other team has those same goals, but we’ve done it, we know what it takes, and I’m excited to put the work in again and do whatever it takes to bring it home again.”
