Gina Kingsbury is the team’s general manager, with Troy Ryan, who was the head coach of the Canadian women’s national team, as head coach. During the inaugural PWHL draft last September, the team selected 15 players.

“This whole thing has been great,” Jasudivicius said. “Seeing the girls on the ice putting their hearts into something they love is just like us. The fans are loving it, and it’s shaping up to be a great night. There are so many young girls here who look to women to be their role models, and I would be honored to be one of those role models. The kids are here to watch these girls play hockey and chase their dreams; it’s the best thing in the world.
