Each of the new Professional Women's Hockey League's six teams signed three players in a free agency period that ended last Sunday. On Monday, each general manager will add 15 more players to their roster, as they build their teams from scratch ahead of a January puck drop.
Minnesota will pick first, followed by Toronto, Boston, New York, Ottawa and Montreal. It will be a snake draft, meaning the order will reverse after each round, giving Montreal the first pick of Round 2.Before the new league officially launched late last month, officials with the PWHL enlisted a panel of nine experts in women's hockey to identify players who could potentially play in the league.
For Toronto GM Gina Kingsbury, the big piece of the puzzle is personality. She wants to make sure each player they pick fits the team's vision and wants to be in Toronto. Heise turned that great season into a spot on the American roster at the 2022 world championship, and that's where she really shined. The Americans took home silver that year, but Heise was named tournament MVP after leading all players in scoring with 18 points. Darwitz has said she'd like to build a team that's fun to watch and scores a lot, and Lake City, Minnesota's Heise certainly fits the bill.
