Caroline Harvey and Laila Edwards, best friends and Olympic champions with Team USA, are preparing for the Professional Women’s Hockey League (PWHL) draft with their careers on different paths for the first time in nearly a decade. Multiple reports describe how the pair, both prominent scorers for Team USA during the Olympics, are approaching the league selection process shortly after a busy season. They are also drawing on recent achievements, including their third national championship with the Wisconsin Badgers, which is mentioned alongside their Olympic gold medals.
Ahead of the draft—reported as occurring roughly a month away—Harvey and Edwards are involved in off-ice events in New York. Yahoo Sports reports the two took part in a keynote appearance at the espnW summit, where they discussed their Olympic experience and collegiate success. Both outlets frame the upcoming draft as a major transition, since the process is expected to place them on different PWHL teams after years of playing together.
