PWHL Announces Training Camp Rosters

The PWHL released training camps rosters Monday morning, ahead of the league’s November camps.

Each team will host a camp ahead of their inaugural season. They will commence training while completing the selection process for their final roster, according to their Oct. 16 press release. The camp rosters consist of teams’ three free-agency signings, 15 draft picks, and 10 to 17 camp invites. The invites are unsigned players looking for spots on a team.

The six PWHL teams will reduce their roster size to 29 players following two weeks of training camp. The players released from camp will be eligible to try out with other PWHL teams. A list of released and eligible players will be circulated to teams on Nov. 30, with a second list of released players circulated on Dec. 8. Following the second window of camp invites, the six PWHL teams must finalize their rosters with 23 signed players. Their deadline will be Dec. 11.

Of the 184 players named to PWHL rosters in the press release, 78 were camp invitees. This group will be fighting for about 30 remaining roster spots. According to the press release, the waiver period where released players can try out with other teams gives players “multiple opportunities to secure a contract.”

Details about training camps signal the approach of the PWHL season. “Training Camps are the next step towards our inaugural season,” said Jayne Hefford in the PWHL press release regarding training camps. “This is an exciting phase.”

It has been 204 days since the last professional women’s league game in North America, but fans can be excited that players will be hitting PWHL ice for camp in 30 days.
