In the second annual NWHL draft from Brooklyn the Boston Pride went on a run of foreign players.All five of the picks were on players from outside the US, four Canadians and a Swiss national.This is in stark contrast to their championship roster that was exclusively American, the only team in the league to claim that.
With four of the picks being from Canada some will wonder if any of them will actually play in the NWHL due to the presence of the CWHL and rumored pressure from Team Canada for any players with national team aspirations.
The first pick by the Pride was the epitome of a head scratcher.
