The team also announced the 24-year-old Chilliwack, BC native has signed a new three-year agreement with the club through 2028.
Huitema had spent the past four seasons with Seattle after joining the National Women’s Soccer League side from Paris Saint-Germain.
“We’re very excited to welcome Jordyn to Chicago,” general manager Richard Feuz said in a statement. “Over the past few months, together with our coaching staff, we spent a lot of time identifying the right profile to strengthen our attacking line, and Jordyn quickly stood out. She brings valuable experience in the NWSL and internationally, including winning the Shield and competing in the playoffs, and we believe that will add another important layer to the group we’re building here. Equally as important, her qualities as a forward and the way she approaches the game fit naturally with the style head coach Martin Sjögren and his staff are implementing.”
Huitema made 70 appearances for the Reign, scoring 13 goals.
“I’m truly excited to be joining Chicago and becoming part of what this club is building,” Huitema said in a statement. “The ambition, vision and direction of the organization made this an incredibly compelling opportunity, and I’m grateful for the chance to contribute to the team’s future. I’m looking forward to meeting everyone, getting to work alongside the staff and players and continuing to grow in a new environment. I’m also incredibly thankful for the continued support from those who have followed and supported my journey; it means a lot to me, and I’m excited to take you with me into this next chapter of my career. This is an exciting new beginning for me, and I’m eager to get started, embrace the challenge and give everything I can for the team and its supporters.”
Internationally, Huitema has been capped 96 times by Canada since her senior debut in 2017. She has 23 goals in a Canada shirt. Huitema was part of the squad that won gold at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.
Huitema joins up with Canada teammate Julia Grosso on the Stars roster.
The Stars open up their 2026 campaign on Sunday with a visit to Angel City.
