Thirteen players are making their Dream Gap Tour appearance. Notably among them are Ann-Renee Desbiens, Erica Howe, Halli Krzyzaniak, Kelsey Koelzer, and Melissa Samoskevich.
While the rosters change each stop, some continuity is starting to show, especially among the Canadian groups. The US-based groups are a bit more scrambled still.
- Team Daoust has 11 players who have been rostered for all four stops thus far, while another seven have been on three rosters. Previously, they’ve been Team Poulin (Toronto) and Team Knight (New Hampshire)
- Team Spooner is largely Team Knox from the first Toronto stop, a group that is also Team Fortino in a PWHPA Live! game.
- Team Larocque is mostly players from Team Jenner. They will also play in a PWHPA Live! game as Team Larocque.
- Team Bellamy is Team Johnston from the first Toronto stop as well. /
