How are we feeling post draft PWHLSJ fans? 👀

"San Jose is a great city and I think it's going to draw in a lot of woman's sports fans. It's a great place for an expansion team." -Mckenna Van Gelder is ready to meet the Bay's womens' sports fans!

"I want to bring home a Walter Cup... San Jose be ready because we're going to bring that trophy home" -Lily Shannon

"I can take my skills and bring them to San Jose to better the team" -Sloane Matthews on her game

@PWHL_SanJose fans can expect an "athletic, competitive goalie who loves to win" from Tia Chan

Incredibly strong inaugural draft class for San Jose that fans should be happy with! Franchise cornerstone and building blocks for the future.

San Jose’s final pick this draft is Reichen Kirchmair. As team captain, Reichen led her collegiate team with 25 points (14G, 11A) and was named Hockey East Player of the Week in October.
