    2024-25 PWHL season

    It sounds like Natalie Buchbinder was a stay-at-home D both at Wisconsin and for the Minnesota Frost, and she seems like a staple of the league. Maybe Chayla Edwards not being picked is largely because of her not playing last season. Another D, Kate Reilly (Quinnipiac '24), was top 2 or 3 in...

    2024-25 PWHL season

    My "mock" entry draft of a few days ago definitely over-drafted on defense.... That list had 6 D (C. Edwards, Poniatovskaia, Philbert, Yovetich, Kettyle, and Muhn), 4 F (Hunt, Boucher, Neitzke and Vekich), and 1 G (Warrener) who were not drafted, while the draft had 2 D (Giaquinto and Becker), 7...

    2024-25 PWHL season

    True - the fact that the teams need some players on minimum contracts goes to the advantage of the rookies, and the disadvantage of veterans. Given the jobs that the league is adding with its expansion, though, it feels as though fewer players will retire than "usual" in the past. So, the...

    2024-25 PWHL season

    Though I also didn't follow NCAA D1 this past season as much as a couple years ago, I do have some thoughts. I think that there are certain players from college that the teams will be excited to sign ahead of most of the remaining free agents. Many of them have national team experience - as...

    PWHL Signings Tracker on The Ice Garden Oddly enough, Ottawa is the only team not to have signed or extended any free agents. They have a very small roster for next season so far. Even NY has signed Jincy Roese to their blue line and extended Taylor Girard at forward. Players who still may be...

    I'm glad that you enjoy the updates. I enjoy tracking what's happening in the league, and hearing what everyone thinks when you write here, too. Wishing I was seeing more NY games. It is a 2-3 hour commute to Newark, NJ depending on traffic. It seems like recent growth in girls' hockey, at a...

    Hailey Salvian wrote in The Athletic that as of the expansion draft night, Vancouver and Seattle have received more than 10,000 season-ticket deposits total, per the PWHL. The league also announced this week that free agency for players on expiring contracts will open on Monday 6/16 at 9am ET...

    The expansion draft is this evening at 8:30pm eastern (on thepwhl.com and their youtube channel)! Here are the players who've been signed to Vancouver and Seattle pre-draft: Vancouver: Sarah Nurse (F, Tor.), Claire Thompson (D, Min.), Sophie Jaques (D, Min.), Emerance Maschmeyer (G, Ott.)...

    2024-25 PWHL season

    New York now uses their 4th protection slot to protect Maja Nylén Persson - the 3rd D that they are protecting. She has gotten praise from Coach Greg Fargo for defending as if she was in a lawn chair, because of her comfort level in her position. She's 24 and played in the SDHL for almost a...

    This is interesting info about the college coaching salaries. There is such a wide range. The PWHL's expansion draft will be on Monday at 8:30pm eastern/5:30pm Pacific time, per thepwhl.com. No word yet on the pick order between Vancouver and Seattle. Seattle has 2 potential signing spots in...

    2024-25 PWHL season

    Vancouver has signed hometown forward Jenn Gardiner to a one-year contract, coming over from MTL. Seems like a good move in terms of picking younger, rising-star players alongside Nurse for example. Wonder whether MTL will protect Erin Ambrose now that it gets the 4th protection slot.

    2024-25 PWHL season

    A couple more updates: - Cayla Barnes (D) from Montréal to Seattle on a 3-year contract, a great player to have in my opinion - Sarah Nurse, officially announced, from TO to Vancouver, 1-year contract - I'm guessing she could well be their captain; she's a good example of Lindsay's point about...

    She is definitely within about 3 years of retiring overall. Knight has said the 2026 Olympics will be her last Olympics, and she will retire from international play. But she may still continue to play in the PW. On your 2nd point, the league doesn't have a maximum salary for individual players...
