Sarah Fillier celebrates with her gold medal after helping Canada defeat the U.S. 3-2 in the Olympic women's hockey final on Day 13 of the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympic Games.
Georgetown, Ont.’s Sarah Fillier was the MVP of the world championship in 2023 and is an Olympic gold medallist.Team Canada star Sarah Fillier was selected by PWHL New York as the first-overall pick in the 2024 PWHL Draft. Sarah Fillier is an Olympic gold medallist, a three-time world champion and now, a PWHL first-overall pick.
The pick keeps Fillier close to where she went to school at Princeton University in New Jersey. PWHL New York played its games in arenas in three states last year, including New Jersey's Prudential Center. Fillier led the NCAA in points per game this past season. She's a natural centre who can also play on the wing.
"Playing wing, it kind of opens up me a bit in the offensive zone and I can kind of fly the zone a bit more and get a bit more threatening offensive chances off the rush," Fillier told reporters last week. Or she could play on the top line and use her hockey IQ to create magic with Carpenter, one of the best shooters in the game.
