The Professional Women’s Hockey League announced on Monday the training camp rosters of all six teams as the league continues to prepare for its inaugural season.
Beginning Nov. 15, 184 players will hit the ice across all six markets for the first time. For the league’s 18 foundational free-agent signees and 90 draft picks selected last month, this will mark their first time skating with their new teammates. For the 76 undrafted camp invitees, this integral period of time represents an opportunity to earn a roster spot.
At this point, each franchise’s roster includes 18 players: three franchise cornerstones signed during the league’s initial 10-day free agency period, and 15 draft picks selected during the league’s inaugural entry draft in Toronto on Sept. 18. As specified in the PWHL’s Collective Bargaining Agreement, each team is required to extend at least 10 training camp invites to undrafted free agents to fill its camp roster, which must consist of a minimum of 28 players and a maximum of 35.
Per league rules, all teams are required to have their final rosters complete by Dec. 11. Rosters will be made up of 23 players signed to Standard Player Agreements, as well as two additional players signed to Reserve Player Contracts.
PWHL OUTLINES WAIVER PROTOCOLS
Additionally, the PWHL has put in place its waiver period protocols ahead of 2023-24, which is intended to “provide players with multiple opportunities to secure a contract and ensure the league and teams maintain flexibility and transparency,” per the league. Those dates and guidelines are as follows:
First Waiver Window: Nov. 30 to Dec. 2
Teams have until Nov. 29 to reduce rosters to a maximum of 27 players. All players not on camp rosters at this time will be eligible to be contacted by another team with the intent to sign them to a contract.
Second Waiver Window: Dec. 8-10
Prior to Dec. 8, each team must submit to the league its final list of Training Camp releases. These lists will then be circulated to all teams. Per the league’s guidelines, “any waiver eligible player may be contacted by teams and offered contracts ahead of the final roster deadline.”
Waiver Eligibility
Not every player is waiver-eligible. Per the PWHL’s press release, a player is ineligible for the waiver period if they “receive and decline a Standard Player Agreement offer while attending a team’s Training Camp.” Additionally, any player drafted by a particular team who leaves camp without getting cut or who does not show up at their team’s training camp will not be eligible for waivers. Drafted players who go through camp unsigned or unclaimed on waivers will revert to their original team’s protected list.
The PWHL season begins in January.
