Women's Hockey Draft: Mock 2023 Draft Class

If there was a professional women's hockey draft, here are 100 prospects who could hear their name called.

Someday, a draft could return for professional women's hockey. The PHF had a draft, but got rid of it to focus on increasing wages before asking players to move cities to play somewhere simply because a team selected them.

When a draft returns, it will provide excitement across the women's hockey world. What would a women's professional hockey draft look like? Inevitably it would mimic the WNBA's draft more closely than the NHL, given the main development path for athletes in women's hockey is university hockey.

With the NHL draft happening this week, it's the perfect time to imagine a 2023 women's hockey draft cohort, so we've created a 2023 Women's Hockey Mock Draft.

For the purposes of this mock draft, we've set some criterion for draft eligibility.

With those simple criterion in mind, here's what 2023 women's hockey draft rankings could look like. We've also included where each athlete will play next season, if that decision has been made. If a return to school or new team has not officially been announced, their next steps will remain blank.
