Julia Gosling and Nicole Gosling have played together before, but never as teammates on Canada's national team, which they did Thursday in the Rivalry Series. Julia Gosling 2024 PWHL Draft [https://thehockeynews.com/.image/c_fit,h_600,w_600/MjA2MTg0MDY3OTQxNTQwOTYz/julia-gosling-pwhl-draft-profile.jpg] Julia Gosling 2024 PWHL Draft Julia Gosling surprised some with her declaration for the 2024 PWHL Draft. It was originally assumed the 5-foot-10 center would return to the NCAA for her fifth year of eligibility with St. Lawrence University. Instead, the 23-year-old power forward is headed for the PWHL, and a Top 10 selection. Gosling drives play and is a goal scoring threat whenever she steps on the ice. Last season with St. Lawrence, Gosling scored 22 goals and 51 points in 37 games for St. Lawrence University. Gosling is a big bodied forward who likes to drive the puck to the net. She gets herself to the middle of the ice and has good speed making her a dangerous player off the rush. Net front, Gosling has good hangs in tight. "She's a great player, great person, great athlete," said Team Canada head coach Troy Ryan of Gosling following her first game with Canada at the World Championships. Her mobility for a big player is excellent, and while loves to drive forward, Gosling can also play an east-west game and is not afraid to shoot from anywhere. She added two goals for Canada at the World Championships, including a goal in the gold medal game against USA.
