A sure sign the offseason is near: the 2025 PWHL Draft eligibility list dropped today.
Players had until May 8 to declare for the draft and the list from the league has 198 players. There are 116 forwards, 56 defenders, and 26 goaltenders with 15 different countries represented. The players played in 18 different leagues last year.
Unsurprisingly, 112 come from NCAA Division 1, the most of any league. Ohio State and University of Minnesota have seven alumna declared with Quinnipac, Minnesota State University, and Clarkson close behind at six. USports had the next highest representation with 26 players declaring. University of British Columbia topped the list with five, with University of Winnipeg and Nipissing University each with four. Interestingly, the third-highest location for where players played last year was "DNP," aka the 15 players who did not play hockey last season.
A quick refresher for how the draft works in the PWHL. A player must declare for the Draft if they want a shot at making a PWHL team. If they are drafted, that team holds their rights for two seasons, whether or not they sign a contract or report to camp. Those rights can be traded though. If a player isn't drafted, they can receive a camp invite to try out with the hopes of making the team. But in order to be invited to camp, a player must have declared for the draft.
The Draft is on June 24th in Ottawa.
