Allexis "Lexie" Adzija (born June 30, 2000) is a Canadian professional ice hockey player. She currently plays for Boston of the Professional Women's Hockey League.

Playing career[edit]

Adzija began skating at the age of three, and decided to play hockey after watching her brother play,[1] at age four.[2] She began playing with her local Timbits program before joining the London Devilettes program. She moved to Oakville, Ontario while in high school before playing US College Hockey at Quinnipiac University. While playing at Quinnpiac, she was plagued by injuries.[1] During her final season there, she suffered from a separated shoulder and a concussion. She was the captain of the team, and scored 43 goals and had 66 assists in 151 games. While there, she took accounting and an MBA and is doing a master's degree in data analytics.[3]

Adzija was drafted in the 11th round (65th overall) of the inaugural PWHL draft by Ottawa. She was the first player drafted by Ottawa to be signed by the team. During the 2023 off season, she had signed a $60,000 contract for the Metropolitan Riveters of the Premier Hockey Federation before the league folded.[4] On March 18, 2024, she was traded to Boston (alongside the rights to Caitrin Lonergan) in exchange for Shiann Darkangelo.[5]

Personal life[edit]

Outside of hockey, Adzija is a model. Her parents are named Mandy and Rob.[1] Her father put an artificial ice rink in her family's barn in St. Thomas so she can practice when she's home.[3]
