    Watching Hannah Bilka attack the zone and then promptly change pace or direction to create space for herself and her teammates, it's a masterclass of offensive vision and hockey IQ.

    Bilka is one of the top prospects available for the 2024 PWHL Draft, and it would not be surprising to see the American winger go first overall. A certain first round pick, Bilka, 23, recently capped off her NCAA career winning a national championship with Ohio State scoring 22 goals and 48 points in 39 games.

    She's an elusive skater and puck handler who travels east-west as quickly as she does north-south changing the plane of attack. 

    With Team USA, Bilka has 23 points in 21 career World Championship games, winning gold and silver medals with the national team.

    Bilka will also become the first Texas born player to compete in the PWHL, a distinction marked by the NHL's Dallas Stars this season.
