Fillier motivated to transform re-tooled Sirens into PWHL contenders after 2 last-place finishes

Sarah Fillier aims to lead a revamped New York Sirens roster featuring top draft picks and key trades after consecutive last-place finishes in the Professional Women's Hockey League.

  • On Saturday, Sarah Fillier leads a rebuilt New York Sirens roster into the PWHL's third season opener at Ottawa after restocking with high-caliber draft talent and offseason additions.
  • After consecutive last-place finishes, New York Sirens struggled to generate wins and fan attention while playing out of Newark, New Jersey, finishing last again.
  • Using the draft and trades, Pascal Daoust selected Colgate forward Kristyna Kaltounkova with the top pick, acquired the No. 3 selection for NCAA MVP Casey O'Brien, and added rookies and college standouts.
  • Coach Greg Fargo gains multiple top-line options with Sarah Fillier as the centerpiece, but New York must rebuild its goaltending after two-year starter Corinne Schroeder signed with Seattle.
  • Homegrown connections matter, as Greg Fargo's prior coaching with Kristyna Kaltounkova and Casey O'Brien's NYC roots give familiarity, while players trust college talent to build a dangerous roster.
