The Boston Pride sign Dempsey, Gagliardi, and Bolden

After signing freshly graduated Amanda Pelkey out of UVM, the Boston Pride GM Hayley Moore has signed three excellent players from the Boston Blades' championship roster

The Boston Pride announced today that they have signed defenders Blake Bolden and Alyssa Gagliardi, along with forward Jillian Dempsey, to new contracts for the 2015-16 NWHL season.

Bolden, Gagliardi, and Dempsey were all on the Clarkson Cup winning Boston Blades roster this past March. The signing comes less than two weeks after the Pride signed their first free agent, University of Vermont graduate Amanda Pelkey (F).

A source, wishing to remain anonymous, shared with me recently that eight Boston Blades players had been given "special release" by the CWHL to try out and explore contracts with the NWHL.
