Monday's PWHL Draft is another big step in the formation of the first unified best-on-best women’s hockey league, and according to PWHL Players’ Association executive director Brian Burke, there’s never been a more important day in the sport.
Sep 18, 2023 at 01:11 PM ETas the league’s six new franchises fill out their rosters.
“I think it’s the biggest day in the history of women’s hockey, I really do. Bigger than Nagano, bigger than any international competitions, all the medals. This is a chance for people to say, ‘We’re going to do this the right way,’” the former NHL executive told TSN’s Gino Reda Monday. The daft follows the league’s initial 10-day free agency period where 18 players – three per team – signed to contracts between Sept. 1 and Sept. 10. Unsigned players declared for the 15-round draft with a second free agency period to follow for teams to reach the training camp minimum of 28.
“I don’t know how it doesn’t feel real yet, but it hasn’t sunk in quite yet,” Ottawa goaltender Emerance Maschmeyer said to Lalonde.
