The Boston Fleet re-signed forward Susanna Tapani to a one-year deal, the team announced Tuesday.
Tapani ranked second on the Fleet with 11 goals and third with 18 points in 30 outings this past season. She also finished second in the league with three shootout goals.
"We're incredibly excited to announce that Susanna Tapani is remaining a part of the Fleet. This was a priority signing for us," general manager Danielle Marmer said in a statement. "Susanna is a highly productive, two-way center who consistently impacts every time she touches the ice. Her speed, ability to possess, and finish set her apart as being one of the best players in this league."
Minnesota selected Tapani in the fifth round of the inaugural PWHL draft in 2023. She was part of the first-ever trade in league history in February 2024 when Minnesota sent her and defender Abby Cook to Boston in exchange for blue-liner Sophie Jaques.
Tapani recorded three goals and four points in eight playoff games during Boston's run to the Walter Cup Finals in 2024.
The 32-year-old won two bronze medals while representing Finland at the 2018 and 2022 Olympics.
