Kendall Cooper is one of the top blueliners available in the 2025 PWHL Draft. The Quinnipiac captain will be a top three round pick this year bringing her mobile game to the PWHL.

Cooper plays with a chip on her shoulder, never shying from physical aspects of the game. 

Her biggest attributes come in her ability to transport the puck up ice, activate offensively from the back, and use her skating to get back into position when the rush has ended. 

"It is incredible to witness the growth of the PWHL over the last couple of years, and now to have the chance to be drafted and hopefully play with and against the best players is something I could have never imagined," Cooper told The Hockey News of the opportunity to join the PWHL through the 2025 Draft.

Cooper says she attempts to emulate her game off the skating and composure of Canadian defenders Renata Fast and Ella Shelton. 

Cooper represented Canada with their national development team this year both in the summer series against USA and at the Six Nations tournament in Sweden. In the past, she won gold captaining Canada's U-18 team to a World Championship title while being named a tournament All-Star.

Once Haley Winn, Rory Guilday, and Nicole Gosling are off the board, it won't be long before Kendall Cooper hears her name at the 2025 PWHL Draft.
