The six teams that will compete in the inaugural season of the Professional Women’s Hockey League have announced their final rosters to open the season.
The rosters feature 157 players from 12 countries. Each team includes 26 players split up between 23 players under contract and three on reserve contracts. Sydney Brodt of Minnesota PWHL is on long-term injured reserve.
“The positive energy, depth of talent and skill on all teams, and the fierce competition displayed during scrimmages at our pre-season evaluation camp in Utica, New York, was an exciting sign of what PWHL fans will enjoy when the puck drops in January,” said Jayna Hefford, PWHL senior vice president of hockey operations, in a statement. “Among the camp takeaways was a commitment from the league to provide additional opportunities for players to be a part of the PWHL this season, leading to the decision to increase the number of roster reserves from two to three players per team, which is reflected across all final rosters.”
The regular season opens on Jan. 1 when Toronto hosts New York.
Below are the final rosters for each team.
