For the 2025-2026 season, the beat will be composed of five writers, two photographers and one videographer.
Cornell hockey has a flair for the dramatic. Often, the headlines write themselves. But at the end of the day, someone needs to write them.
It is the second straight PWHL draft where a Cornellian has been selected in the third round, as Izzy Daniel ’24 was selected 18th overall in last year’s draft.
Guilday was widely projected to be taken early in the draft due to her impressive collegiate and international resume.
The second PWHL entry draft will last six rounds and begin on June 24 at 7 p.m.
The article will be updated as new information is released and when the final schedules are ultimately made public.
In the 2024-25 season, the Red allowed the second fewest goals in the NCAA, tallied the fourth-most shutouts (10) and earned the fifth-best penalty kill percentage. A large reason for that was defender Rory Guilday.
The addition of Izzy Daniel ’24 brings the total number of Cornellians currently in the PWHL to six.
"I thought we showed our mettle and something we took a lot of pride in all year long is battling through games to come back. We just couldn’t get it done in the third.”
With a win, the Red would advance to Sunday’s national championship game.
