PWHL Draft Class Headed by 5 US Gold Medal-Winning Olympians, Including Wisconsin's Caroline Harvey
The pool includes 23 Milan-Cortina Olympians and is the league’s largest since its 2023 inaugural draft.
- On Tuesday, the PWHL announced a 235-player draft pool led by American Caroline Harvey as the top prospect, with the Vancouver Goldeneyes holding the first overall pick.
- This draft class represents the largest prospect pool since the inaugural 2023 draft totaled 268 players, with more than 50 per cent of eligible athletes competing within NCAA programs.
- The 235-player field includes 129 forwards, 69 defenders, and 37 goaltenders, with five members of the U.S. Olympic gold medal-winning team and 32 players representing 13 countries outside North America.
- Veteran players seeking to resume professional careers include 39-year-old Canadian Olympian Meghan Agosta, as the league's high talent volume drives plans to add four expansion franchises.
- The draft, comprising six rounds and 48 picks, will take place on Wednesday, June 17, at the Fox Theatre in Detroit, Michigan, though the league cautioned that not every candidate will be selected.
