The Ottawa Charge and Boston Fleet were next with four players each. From Ottawa are Hayley Scamurra, Gwyneth Philips, Gabbie Hughes, and Savannah Harmon, while Boston will see Hilary Knight, Megan Keller, Aerin Frankel, and Hannah Bilka competing. From the Montreal Victoire, Cayla Barnes is the lone representative, while Alex Carpenter and Ally Simpson will represent the New York Sirens. Notable omissions to the roster include Abby Roque (New York Sirens), Izzy Daniel (Toronto Sceptres), Kali Flanagan (Toronto Sceptres), Maureen Murphy (Montreal Victoire), Casey O'Brien (Wisconsin), and Emma Peschel (Ohio State).
