2024 PWHL Draft Rankings: Top 75

The PWHL Draft is rapidly approaching and scouting opportunities are almost over aside from the Division IA World Championships. Here's a look at The Hockey News Top 75 players for April.
We will release a final ranking in May which will then only include players who have officially declared for the draft.



1. Sarah Fillier, C, Princeton, NCAA (2000, Canada)
Top line offensive threat, can also play a two-way game. Coming out of Princeton, already owns Olympic gold and multiple World Championship gold medals with Canada.

2. Hannah Bilka, LW, Ohio State, NCAA (2001, USA)
Silky hands and a deceptive skater, Bilka weaves in and out of traffic to create scoring chances. Elite talent who won a national title with Ohio State and owns World Championship gold with Team USA.

3. Cayla Barnes, D, Ohio State, NCAA (1999, USA)
A spark plug from the blueline, Barnes is physical, makes smart puck decisions, and defends as well as she attacks. National champion, World Champion, and no ego.

4. Danielle Serdachny, C, Colgate (2001, Canada)
Top scorer of all NCAA players over the past three seasons, she's gifted when it comes to creating offense. Uses her frame to protect pucks and get to the dirty areas. Gold medal winning goal for Canada this year elevated her status.

5. Ronja Savolainen, D, Lulea, SDHL (1997, Finland)
Savolainen, 26, is an all situations blueliner who uses her 5-foot-10 frame effectively. Can be nasty, can also transport the puck herself, and play a variety of roles on the power play. A multifaceted threat.

6. Daniela Pejsova, D, Lulea, SDHL (2002, Czechia)
Smooth skating and physical 21-year-old, Pejsova played major minutes for Lulea and Czechia this year. She can turn pucks up ice quickly, and has offensive upside despite modest numbers. Able to defend top lines.

7. Claire Thompson, D, DNP (1998, Canada)
Olympic All-Star took a year away from the game to pursue her degree, Thompson is expected to dive full time into the league. Great skater, good vision, offensive minded.

8. Noora Tulus, F, Lulea, SDHL (1995, Finland)
Leading scorer in the SDHL and several bronze and a silver medal representing Finland at the World Championships and Olympics. Great playmaking vision and game breaking speed.

31. Anna Kjellbin, D, Lulea, SDHL (1994, Sweden)
It's hard to argue with the opportunity to add a veteran blueliner, who captains her national team, and has won multiple championships. She's not the flashiest, but is steady.

Luleå kan snart vara en av de mest kända finska städerna bland nordamerikaner.

Kul att det rör på sig inom damhockeyn!

Kul för tjejerna, mindre kul för LHF.

Tråkig utveckling ändå för oss på sidan om.

Boorken blir väl glad när alla stjärnor drar över atlanten, då blir "bara" de unga svenska tjejerna kvar, som då kommer utvecklas "enormt pga all den speltid de får".

Tror inte Boorken har så många tankar längre
