Every day I refresh my email with hopes of PWHL tickets news, and hopefully the ability to buy a Nintendo Switch 2
(these are not related but equally exciting)

Some big names left unprotected (biggest one being Hillary Knight) for the upcoming PWHL expansion draft. There's also a lot of local talent in the free agent pool, too. Vancouver should have an opportunity to build a really strong group.
Sarah Nurse exposed, bring that girl to Beautiful British Columbia !! . I’m seriously considering getting season tickets to this team !

Sources: PWHL Vancouver First Out Of The Gates Signing Claire Thompson and Sophie Jaques
Sources have confirmed that PWHL Vancouver is first out of the gates in the PWHL expansion process signing defenders Claire Thompson and Sophie Jaques from the Minnesota Frost.
thehockeynews.com
Vancouver first out of the gate signing two defenders from the back-to-back champion Minnesota Frost - Claire Thompson and Sophie Jacques. The top two scoring defenders on Minnesota last season, too, and both were finalists/nominees for the PWHL Defender of the Year Award.

And Vancouver has its first forward in Sarah Nurse!
I thought for sure they’d go after Hannah Miller.

I kind of feel for fans of the other teams a bit - this expansion draft is hugely, hugely favourable to Vancouver and Seattle.
But Gardner-Morey sure isn't f***ing around - she's come flying out of the gate signing players. And this is a really nice haul so far.

We literally have two All-Star defenders, extremely good goalie, and a star forward to start it off lol

No kidding. It's a pretty exciting day for PWHL Van fans.
I wonder who their 5th acquisition will be. I'm a little surprised they haven't signed a BC product yet - but I wonder if they're counting on some BC born free agents still being free once their exclusive window ends.
I will say hearing the names coming definitely makes me more excited and I will for sure try to see at least a few games.

I think the team eventually announcing its name will really help in that regard as well. Hope they do it prior to their inaugural season.

Would probably need to work out something with the Richmond Sockeyes, which is PJHL men's.
Also wtf is this expansion process, just take all the other team's best players?

When the league owns everything, it makes sense to weigh things in favour of getting new markets buzzing while expecting the established teams to recover.

Pretty damn good start for the roster! Excited to see how this plays out for the first season

And there's number 5. Surrey's own Jennifer Gardiner is joining PWHL Vancouver.
Rookie of the Year finalist and just had a strong showing for Canada at the Worlds.
Is it ageing myself if I say I was hoping for the other Jennifer Gardiner?
