Out of the chosen players, 21 had previously participated in the American leg of the 2024-25 Rivalry series games. The four players that have come off the roster include Sophie Shirley, Jaime Bourbonnais, Chloe Primerano, and Kristen Campbell. Replacing them will be Jennifer Gardiner, Sophie Jaques, Micah Zandee-Hart, and Corinne Schroeder.
Canada named its Rivalry Series roster for the last two games in Atlantic Canada. Changes from November:

IN: F Jennifer Gardiner, D Sophie Jaques, D Micah Zandee-Hart, G Corinne Schroeder
OUT: F Sophie Shirley, D Jaime Bourbonnais, D Chloe Primerano, G Kristen Campbell
Before panic sets in, NCAA players are not included in the second round of the Rivalry Series due to an agreement with their college teams for playoffs, so don’t worry, Chloe Primerano did not get cut.
Corinne Schroeder is also getting another National Team look as she replaces Toronto Sceptres goalie Kristen Campbell, who has struggled this PWHL season after winning goaltender of the year last season.
