Boston Captain Hilary Knight Tops List of Unprotected Players Available to PWHL Expansion Teams

  • On June 3, 2025, the PWHL announced Boston Fleet captain Hilary Knight was left unprotected ahead of the league's expansion draft in Vancouver and Seattle.
  • The expansion followed the league's decision to grow from six to eight teams, requiring each original team to protect only three players and expose others for selection.
  • Seattle and Vancouver will begin play next season and have a five-day exclusive signing window starting June 4 before a June 9 expansion draft to fill their 12-player rosters.
  • Knight, 35, tied for league scoring lead last season with 15 goals and 14 assists totaling 29 points, and announced she will retire from international play after the 2026 Milan Winter Games but continue in the PWHL.
  • This expansion aims to maintain competitive balance, offer Seattle and Vancouver strong rosters, and suggests significant roster changes as top players become available to new teams.
