The order would continue alternating in each subsequent round, producing a 'snaking' order.<ref>{{cite web |last=Sadler |first=Emily |date=2023-09-17 |title=PWHL Draft: How it will work and players to watch for |url=https://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/article/how-the-pwhls-inaugural-draft-will-work/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230919140510/https://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/article/how-the-pwhls-inaugural-draft-will-work/ |archive-date=2023-09-19 |access-date=2023-09-19 |website=Sportsnet}}</ref>

The 2023 PWHL Draft was the first draft in Professional Women's Hockey League history, and took place on September 18, 2023, at the Canadian Broadcasting Centre in Toronto, Ontario.[1]

Minnesota Golden Gophers forward Taylor Heise was the first player chosen in the draft, selected by Minnesota. In all, 90 players were selected over 15 rounds of drafting.

List of Eligible Players

[edit]

286 eligible players from 17 different countries declared for the inaugural PWHL draft.[2]

Format

[edit]

The draft consisted of 15 rounds. The order of picks in the first round was decided by using a computerized list randomizer during a video conference call with all 6 team's general managers.[4] In the second round this order was reversed, so the team with the 6th pick would also receive the 7th pick, whilst the team with first overall pick would not pick again until the 12th pick (last pick in the second round). The order would continue alternating in each subsequent round, producing a 'snaking' order.[5]

The final draft order was:

  1. Minnesota
  2. Toronto
  3. Boston
  4. New York
  5. Ottawa
  6. Montreal
