Saturday afternoon marked the first draft for the newly-formed National Women's Hockey League, and there were Eagles all over the draft board.
The first overall pick was Alex Carpenter, winner of the 2015 Patty Kazmaier Award.
Carpenter was picked by the New York Riveters, but she wouldn't be alone. The Riveters picked Eagles with the first pick of the second and fourth rounds as well, with linemate Haley Skarupa and fellow junior Dana Trivigno joining Carpenter in New York. With only five rounds with which to choose players, the Riveters must have seen something they liked in the BC program to grab three out of five players from the Heights.
