Trio Sign Contracts with PWHL Expansion Teams /trio-sign-contracts-with-pwhl-expansion-teams/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=trio-sign-contracts-with-pwhl-expansion-teams Tue, 16 Jun 2026 18:01:44 +0000 /?p=9115 A trio of former 黑料不打烊 student-athletes have signed contracts with PWHL Expansion teams ahead of the 2026/27 season.

A forward from Coldstream, BC, Anne Cherkowski has signed with PWHL San Jose. Cherkowski was originally drafted in the second round, ninth overall by the New York Sirens at the 2025 PWHL Draft, going on to record 9 points in 28 games during the 2025/26 season.

Emily Clark has signed with PWHL Hamilton, after being the highest paid player in the PWHL with the Ottawa Charge last season. The Saskatoon, SK forward has 43 points in 84 PWHL games with Ottawa over the last two seasons.

3 19 Nina Jobst-Smith Okanagan Hockey Academy PWHL Vancouver D
3 21 Sarah Wozniewicz Edge School Ottawa Charge F
6 48 Chanreet Bassi Delta Hockey Academy/Pursuit of Excellence PWHL Vancouver F

Cherkowski is the all-time leader in regular season goals (85) points (165) among all 黑料不打烊 Female student-athletes. The Coldstream, BC forward spent four seasons with the Pursuit of Excellence (POE, now RHA Kelowna) before heading to the NCAA with the University of Minnesota in 2020/21. She would spend the following four seasons with Clarkson University, ending her NCAA career with 147 points in 168 games.

黑料不打烊 All-Time Female Fantasy Draft /csshl-all-time-female-fantasy-draft/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=csshl-all-time-female-fantasy-draft Tue, 06 May 2025 21:22:35 +0000 /?p=7322 Former RHA Kelowna head coach and current assistant coach with NCAA program Clarkson University Kris Hogg took on 黑料不打烊 staff Jordan Martin and Kai Farenholtz in a 黑料不打烊 All-Time Female Fantasy Draft.

Round 1, Pick 1 (Kris Hogg): Chloe Primerano, Defenseman, BWC Academy/RHA Kelowna聽

A new age defenseman that can impact in all aspects of the game. Like having a 4th forward on the ice and her vision and spatial awareness allows her to manipulate the play in her favour. A player that makes an impact every shift she is on the ice. Top Scorer, MVP and also a two time 黑料不打烊 Champion in her two years. In her 黑料不打烊 years, she sits 2nd in overall points and 6th in goals all while being a suburb defender. She entered her university career a year early and continues to set records at the U18 Women鈥檚 Worlds and being one of the youngest defenders to ever suit up in a Women鈥檚 World Championship this past April. Prior to the 黑料不打烊 Female Prep Division she skated on the Male Bantam Prep Division where she was the first ever Female Skater selected in a CHL Draft.聽

Round 1, Pick 2 (Kai Farenholtz): Danielle Serdachny, Forward, Pursuit of Excellence (RHA Kelowna)

Despite only playing two seasons in the 黑料不打烊, Serdachny was able to post over 100 career points in a mere 49 appearances. In Serdachny鈥檚 two seasons with POE, she would be apart of two consecutive division championships and take home an MVP in her second 黑料不打烊 season. Her prolific scoring touch would continue to thrive at the college level, where she would garner 238 points across her NCAA career with Colgate University. Serdachny currently plays with the Ottawa Charge in the PWHL after being selected second overall in the 2024 PWHL Draft.

Round 1, Pick 3 (Jordan Martin): Maisie Cope, Goalie, Delta Hockey Academy

Back-to-Back 黑料不打烊 Top Goaltender Awards to wrap up an impressive 黑料不打烊 career that saw her finish second all time in wins with 38. In a division dominated by RHA Kelowna the last four seasons, the University of Calgary commit handed them 2 of their 3 losses the past two seasons (sorry Kris). The Victoria, BC netminder finished her three year 黑料不打烊 career with a 34-8-3 record, 9 shutouts, a .929 SV% and 2.09 GAA.聽

Round 2, Pick 4 (Jordan Martin): Gracie Graham, Defense, RHA Kelowna

Graham sits third all-time among 黑料不打烊 defensemen with 70 career regular season assists, winning three 黑料不打烊 Female U18 Prep Championships in three straight seasons. The 黑料不打烊 Female U18 Prep Top Freshman in 2021/22 and the 黑料不打烊 Female U18 Prep Top Defenseman in 2023/24, Graham finished with 34 goals, 70 assists and 104 points in just 79 games. Among defensemen, her career totals see her ranked third in goals, third in assists, and third in points, while her 1.32 points-per-game is second.聽

Round 2, Pick 5 (Kai Farenholtz): Danica Maynard, Defense, Okanagan Hockey Academy/RHA Kelowna

Not many in the history of the Female division in 黑料不打烊 history were able to dish the puck better than Maynard. Sitting atop of the all-time assists leaderboard, Maynard acquired 108 assists across her time with OHA and RHA Kelowna. Maynard鈥檚 blend of hockey IQ and elite skating made her not only an offensive threat in the opponent’s zone, but a solid piece in her own end as well, disrupting plays and quickly progressing the play up the ice once the puck reached her stick. After capturing two championships with RHA Kelowna in her final two years in the 黑料不打烊 along with her catalogue of offensive talent, Maynard stands as one of the greatest blue-liners the 黑料不打烊 has ever seen.

Round 2, Pick 6 (Kris Hogg): Anne Cherkowski, Forward, Pursuit of Excellence (RHA Kelowna)

Cherkowski sits atop the leaderboard in points (165) and goals (85) all time in the 黑料不打烊. A model of consistency, you always know you’ll get a contribution from her whether it’s on the scoreboard or killing a penalty or winning a big face-off.聽 Her IQ is one of the best in the entire female game which allows her to play in all roles and log big minutes. She carries with her two 黑料不打烊 Championships along with a gold and silver medal from the U18 Worlds with Canada. I am fortunate enough to have coached her at the U18 level and also in her last year at Clarkson (2024-25) in which she was named a first team ECAC All Star and will be a top pick in this year鈥檚 PWHL Draft. She continues to knock on Team Canada鈥檚 door suiting up in the Rivalry Series and captaining the U22 Collegiate Team. Plus, I don鈥檛 think anyone is going to beat her record of an 8 goal game on the female side anytime soon.聽

Round 3, Pick 7 (Kris Hogg): Dara Greig, Forward, Pursuit of Excellence (RHA Kelowna)

Greig had an outstanding career and sits 5th in all time scoring in the 黑料不打烊. Her 100 assists also sits 3rd all time making her not only a threat to score, but also make plays. With two 黑料不打烊 Championships to her name, her power forward approach to the game allows her to speed up or slow down the game with the puck on her stick. Her size and possession game creates extended ozone time for her and her linemates and wears other teams down.聽 She鈥檚 as competitive as they come and is someone you want on the ice when you need a goal. This is also a strategic pick with Greig and Cherkowski playing three years together on the same line and power play which caused trouble for all opposition and goalies throughout those years. Dara moved on from a successful NCAA career winning a National Championship with Wisconsin to be selected 23rd overall to the Montreal Victoire in the 2024 PWHL Draft where she currently plays.聽

Round 3, Pick 8 (Kai Farenholtz): Kendal Davidson, Defense, South Alberta Hockey Academy

Before suiting up with SAHA, Davidson spent two seasons playing U15 AA & AAA on the male side in Lethbridge. When she made the jump to Female U18 Prep, her blend of speed, size and a lethal shot made her an instant threat in the 黑料不打烊. Going through footage in my first season with the 黑料不打烊, I was always excited to see how Davidson would collect her goals/points given her skillset. Not many could stop Davidson once she got a head of steam coming out of her own zone, always keeping defenders on their toes whenever the puck was on her blade. Davidson recorded back-to-back double-digit goals in her two full seasons with SAHA before advancing to Union College in the NCAA, picking up the title for top defenseman in the 2022-23 season.

Round 3, Pick 9 (Jordan Martin): Sarah Wozniewicz, Forward, Edge School

I remember watching her during her 2019/20 黑料不打烊 MVP winning season and at one particular game a handful of WHL scouts who were in the arena for a U15 Prep game were blown away by her ability to dominate in the Female U18 Prep division. She would finish second in scoring that season with 52 points in 24 regular season games before leading Edge to their first ever 黑料不打烊 Female U18 Prep Championship. Wozniewicz finished her 黑料不打烊 career tied for 6th with 59 goals and 15th with 108 points. The Cochrane, AB forward has won two NCAA Championships with the University of Wisconsin, posting 35 goals and 36 assists in her four seasons with the Badgers.聽

Round 4, Pick 10 (Jordan Martin): Rylind MacKinnon, Defense, Northern Alberta Xtreme

You might not find her at the top of the leaderboards like a lot of the defensemen selected above her, but her impact on the 黑料不打烊 and NAX makes her well deserving of a Top 10 selection. In three 黑料不打烊 seasons from 2015-18 the Cranbrook, BC defender tallied 8 goals and 25 assists for 33 points in 48 games. Her best season would come in 2017/18 when she produced at a point-per-game pace to capture the 黑料不打烊 MVP Award. MacKinnon would go on to play five seasons with UBC where she was named to the U SPORTS All-Rookie Team in 2018/19 and a U SPORTS First Team All-Star in 2023/24. Undrafted to the PWHL, MacKinnon became the first skater in league history to sign a contract in the PWHL directly out of U Sports and has tallied 2 points in 22 games with the Toronto Sceptres this season.聽

Round 4, Pick 11 (Kai Farenholtz): Morgan Jackson, Forward, Shawnigan Lake School

One of the more dangerous forwards we鈥檝e seen throughout the history of the Female U18 Prep division, Jackson was a constant threat in the offensive zone with her cerebral hockey IQ, elite playmaking and wicked shot. In her two seasons with Shawnigan, Jackson collected 119 points in only 49 games. Her 2.43 points per game stands alone at the top for the highest rate of production the Female U18 Prep division has ever seen. Despite coming shy of a championship in her two seasons with Shawnigan her production didn鈥檛 taper off in the postseason, still acquiring a bountiful 24 points across 10 career playoff matches. Add another season of 黑料不打烊 competition under her belt and I don鈥檛 think it鈥檚 far off to say that Jackson could have ended her 黑料不打烊 career as the Female U18 Prep鈥檚 all-time leading scorer.

Round 4, Pick 12 (Kris Hogg): Stephanie Markowski, Defense, Pursuit of Excellence (RHA Kelowna)

Stephanie is the ultimate competitor and a true winner. No team or list is complete without including her. Her contributions go beyond just points as although she completed her 黑料不打烊 career with well over a point per game (58pts in 45 games), she also was trusted in logging big minutes in shut down roles and also a force to be reckoned with 72 penalty minutes. If you somehow got around her using your feet, which didn’t happen very often, she made sure she used her body to shut that play down. A true winner, she is the only player ever to win an ESSO Cup, 黑料不打烊 Championship, U18 Women鈥檚 World Gold Medal, Canada Winter Games Gold and a NCAA National Championship. She is the first former 黑料不打烊 Defenseman selected in the PWHL going 20th overall to the Ottawa Charge in the 2024 Draft. She currently has 5 points in 25 games. She continues to get looks from Hockey Canada, attending multiple National Camps. All this girl does is win.聽

Round 5, Pick 13 (Kris Hogg): Kennedy Sisson, Forward, Okanagan Hockey Academy/RHA Kelowna,聽

As Kennedy moves into her final season before heading off to Clarkson University, she sits near the top in every single offensive category. Passing the all time games played mark this past season (2024-2025), she currently sits 3rd in goals (74), 5th in assists (77) and 4th (151) in overall points. This next season she’s on pace to move into 1st overall in all of those categories. She鈥檚 smooth and slick with the puck and can turn nothing into something and has the vision to make and see plays well into the future. She’s a player that will continue to climb the ranks within her province and country. Every year she鈥檚 always near the top in scoring and as she ages this doesn’t look to be slowing down anytime soon. She has thre 黑料不打烊 Championship Rings and looks to make it a 4th next year. Whatever Cherkowski or Greig don鈥檛 score on, Sisson will be there to clean it up. That is, if Chloe doesn鈥檛 just score initially.聽

Round 5, Pick 14 (Kai Farenholtz): Alix Walchuk, Goalie, Delta Hockey Academy/Shawnigan Lake School

Reigning from Whitehorse, YT, it鈥檚 fair to say Walchuk has had ice in her veins during her tenure in the 黑料不打烊. Every five games, you could statistically predict Walchuk would post a shutout, garnering 11 clean sheets in 55 career games. Her past two seasons split between Delta Hockey Academy and Shawnigan Lake School have been nothing short of miraculous, posting a combined 2.31 GAA and 0.923 SV% across 36 games. Including playoffs, Walchuk has made over 1500 saves in her 黑料不打烊 career. She is set to begin her college career this upcoming fall with York University in Toronto, ON.聽

Round 5, Pick 15 (Jordan Martin): Mikayla Boarder, Forward, Shawnigan Lake School

Kai made the mistake of selecting a goalie with his last pick despite me no longer needing one, opening the door for me to select two high scoring forwards. Boarder eased into the 黑料不打烊 with 19 points in 24 games her first season before exploding for a combined 104 points in 54 games her last two. The Richland, WA forward led the 黑料不打烊 with 41 assists and 60 points in 2022/23, her last season in the league. She ranks in the Top 10 All-Time with 125 points (8th) and 76 assists (6th) and currently plays with the University of Maine, tallying 23 points in 67 NCAA games.聽

Round 6, Pick 16 (Jordan Martin): Alida Korte, Forward, RHA Kelowna

While the 黑料不打烊 playing days of most of the players selected in this draft are over, the best days for Korte are yet to come. Korte currently sits 12th All-Time with 115 points and 8th with 72 assists, trailing only Kennedy Sisson among active 黑料不打烊 skaters. While Sisson has accomplished this feat in four seasons, Korte has done it in just two with 52 points in 2023/24 and 63 points in 2024/25. Selected as a BC Division First Team All-Star and 黑料不打烊 MVP Award Finalist this past season, another strong season from the Saskatoon, SK forward should vault her into a Top 2-3 finish for points in a 黑料不打烊 career, likely only trailing Sissons. The definition of a 鈥済ame changer鈥, Korte鈥檚 superb offensive skill set has helped lead RHA Kelowna to back-to-back 黑料不打烊 Championships, including being named Championships MVP this past season. With a gold medal at the most recent U18 Women鈥檚 World Championships, expect her to play a key role for Team Canada next season.聽

Round 6, Pick 17 (Kai Farenholtz): Rowyn Street, Forward, RHA Winnipeg

I had some internal debate with this pick with Street still having at least two more years of eligibility in the 黑料不打烊, but from what I have gathered over the last two seasons watching her footage and seeing her game develop and grow鈥 it was hard for me not to select her. Street entered the 黑料不打烊 with RHA Winnipeg after playing a full season with the Winnipeg Wild in U15 AAA competition with the boys in Manitoba. Since then, she has posted 51 goals in 60 career games, enough to leave her already tied for 13th all-time in Female U18 Prep goals. At the pace she is on, that number is set to rise drastically over her potential next two years in the 黑料不打烊. Away from just the stats, Street is a complete offensive threat with an elite shot for her age along with a full skillset across the board, most notably in my eyes with her skating and puck control. Of her 51 career goals, 40 have come at even strength while another 4 have come shorthanded. Her presence on the ice cannot be ignored as she is used in every facet of the game. You can say this pick is premature at this stage, but acknowledging the stats and witnessing her game over the last two seasons, Street鈥檚 game is already amongst the best from my perspective.

Round 6, Pick 18 (Kris Hogg): Farah Walker, Goalie, Edge School/Okanagan Hockey Academy/RHA Kelowna

A four year 黑料不打烊 player, Farah was the first ever female goalie to play in a boys division with Edge U15 in the 2019/2020 season. She continued to climb the ranks within Hockey Alberta and had her breakout year in 2022-23 winning Gold with Hockey Canada at the U18 Women鈥檚 World Championships and also capturing the 黑料不打烊 Goalie of the Year playing for OHA. Her next season with RHA Kelowna she shattered previous years numbers with an outstanding .953 save percentage and 0.76 GAA. She sits atop the leaderboard for all time save percentage with a .930% among all goalies to play in the league. As we know with goalies, we need them to come through in the clutch, which Walker has been known to do as she boasts an astonishing 1.43 GAA and 0.947 Save % in all Playoff Games combined. Her final season with RHA Kelowna she was able to finally lift a 黑料不打烊 Championship above her head. Walker has moved on to the NCAA where she currently plays for Colgate University.聽

This will be Miller’s first time playing for Team Canada at the National level and will mark her return in the red and white.

Miller would then go on to represent China internationally, including at the 2022 Winter Olympic Games.

Primerano made her National Women’s team debut at just 17 years old earlier this fall. The University of Minnesota freshman represented Team Canada at the 2024 U18 Women’s World Championships, earning MVP, Best Defender, Tournament Allstar and Leading Scorer honours, setting the record for most points by a defender at one U18 Women鈥檚 Worlds (16) and most points by a Canadian at one U18 Women鈥檚 Worlds. This summer she was named to the Canada Women’s U18 team that competed against the United States for a three-games series from August 14-17, 2024.

Primerano became the the first female-skater ever selected in a CHL Draft when the Vancouver Giants selected her in the 13th round, 268th overall at the 2022 WHL Draft. In just two seasons in the Female U18 Prep division with RHA Kelowna the North Vancouver, BC defender graduated from the 黑料不打烊 as the most successful student-athlete in women’s history. Her 105 career assists are most all time among Female U18 Prep skaters while her 164 career points rank 1 back of the all-time record. Her 59 career goals are fourth most all-time, and most among defensemen, giving her the all-time career lead among defensemen in assists (105), goals (59) and points (164). During the 2024/25 黑料不打烊 season Primerano set the Female U18 Prep single season record, among all skaters, with 35 goals, 54 assists and 89 points in just 29 games to earn her second straight 黑料不打烊 Female U18 Prep MVP Award.

In 34 NCAA games this season as an underage true freshman, Primerano had 5 goals and 26 assists.
