Here are the 167 athletes who declared for the 2024 PWHL Draft (2024)

ST. PAUL — From recent college graduates to longtime greats such as Amanda Kessel, here's who declared for the 2024 PWHL Draft that will be held June 10 in St. Paul at the Roy Wilkins Auditorium.

Over 150 athletes from all over the world put their names into the database but only 42 total women will be selected at the draft. New York holds the first overall pick, followed by Ottawa, Minnesota, Boston, Montreal and Toronto.

“The global interest in the PWHL continues to grow and the depth of talent across the women’s hockey player pool will raise the level of play in the league’s second season,” said Jayna Hefford, PWHL senior vice president of hockey operations, in a press release from the league. “Fans are going to see stars from collegiate and international programs selected by their favorite PWHL teams, which makes the draft one of the most exciting events of the year.”

Teams can start to sign free agents on June 21 for those who were not drafted or were not retained by their respective teams after the 2024 season.
