As a member of the Boston Fleet in 2025-26, Muller had four goals and 17 assists for 21 points, finishing third on the team in scoring. She also scored a goal and three assists for four points in Boston’s first-round matchup against the Charge in the Walter Cup Playoffs.
In 80 career regular-season games, she has 16 goals and 40 assists for 56 points. In 12 Walter Cup Playoff games, she’s recorded three goals and four assists for seven points.
Muller is the latest signing by Canada’s newest expansion franchise, as the team signed goaltender Kayle Osborne and former Ottawa Charge captain Brianne Jenner to respective three-year contracts on Friday.
The news comes after Muller was one of the notable players not protected by the Fleet on Wednesday. In a press conference the following day, Fleet general manager Danielle Marmer was emotional, telling media that not protecting the Swiss forward was one of the hardest decisions she’s ever made.
“There’s nothing that she could have done differently for this decision to have been made differently,” Marmer said. “I told her how much she means to this organization and this city. I told her I love her.”
Marmer mentioned that Muller handled the news like a pro, seemingly making the final decision even tougher.
“She was such a professional by the way that she handled it. That just speaks to who she is. She’s a phenomenal person and human being. We know she’s an incredible hockey player, but as a person, just wonderful. Understands the challenges from a roster-building perspective.”
