Buffalo Beauts, MacDougall Agree To Contract Release
BUFFALO – The Buffalo Beauts and forward Autumn MacDougall have agreed to a contract release from the team, at the request of the player. MacDougall has not been part of the team’s current road trip against the Boston Pride (Jan. 14/15) and the Connecticut Whale (Jan. 17/18).
“The Beauts and Auttie have parted entirely amicably, and we wish her nothing but the best as she continues her professional career,” said GM Nate Oliver. “We thank Auttie for her three seasons as a Beaut and we hope to see her around the rinks sometime soon.”
MacDougall scored nine goals, 10 assists, and 19 points in 34 regular season games for Buffalo. She was a third-round (14th overall) selection by the Beauts in the 2020 Premier Hockey Federation Draft.
The Beauts have waived MacDougall’s non-compete clause in the contract and she is free to sign with other professional teams.
