There are a record 81 prospects registered for the 2016 CWHL Player Draft. This is the first of three articles highlighting the top players at each position, as well as those who seem like fits in Montreal with Les Canadiennes.
The CWHL Draft works differently than most drafts we see in sports. When they register for the draft, the players can choose up to three teams they would be willing to play for, and only those teams can draft the player. If a player chooses the Greater Toronto Area, that counts as two teams as both the Toronto Furies and Brampton Thunder can choose the player.
