Thank you, Jess Kondas, for this incredible piece of Toronto Sceptres media 🫡

Undrafted / unsigned players as of right now

With the SDHL / AuroraLiiga / Postfinance Women’s League / EWHL / other leagues either underway or soon to be underway, a lot of rosters are close to solidified with only a few spots left.

A lot of PWHL teams have made clear that they plan to not sign any / very few remaining free agents or draft picks until after training camp where they plan to have everyone remaining compete for spots. Obviously signed players and drafted players will be there, but who else? This is meant to give some light to that

This list does not include NCAA / USports players who went undrafted, mostly just due to lack of time. But feel free to add anyone notable!

Current list of rumored undrafted training camp invites.

Please note that this is not from PWHL teams officially and may not include all players invited / some may still be responding to offers

Notable players who played in other leagues last year who are currently not affiliated with any team

Please note, I’m not saying all of these players will be PWHL invites, but as all leagues look to fill remaining spots these are names that may be on their call list. I put an * on players I think could have a shot at a camp invite for the PWHL based on a few factors including if they declared for the draft

JESS KONDAS WOMAN THAT YOU ARE WELCOME TO THE ICE

[toytulini]

Gavyn has a Samoyed,

Zane maybe has a Savannah cat, Jessa got it for him as a surprise anniversary gift or smth which is...terrible? But even tho its more than he was originally prepared for, after a lot of "my cat from hell"-ing hes got it all under control, however he gets like. Educated on pet care in the process, and hes like hmmmmm yeah uh maybe the hybrid part Wild cat as a Surprise Gift was not the best idea, Jess. Like he loves the cat luckily and figured put how to care for her but wouldve appreciated 1)research 2)mutual discussion and decision making 3)better preparedness

A bit later in their life, Gavyn is lowkey pining for another dog, and loves Samoyeds, but tbeir dwelling is still. Small. Like, uve got 2 big animals both of which have a good amount of energy, cat is pretty high maintenance, and frankly theyre. Both big animals? So...Zane gets him a Japanese Spitz maybe? But not the same way as Jessa did. See he talks abt it w Gavyn first, and the first thing they do is get stuff prepared, but its still a present, and the reveal that Zanes been talking to a breeder, sort of thing etc. Also picked put japanese spitz bc they konda look like mini samoyeds. Obvs its gonna be different bc its a totally different breed lmao but Gavyn doesnt mind and he also appreciates the aesthetic of having 1 big white floff and a miniature floff, but not super miniature.

SIREN MIX 016: Katiusha

For the 16th entry into our mix series, Berlin-based DJ Katiusha takes us on a thrilling journey which expertly balances sounds light and dark, fast and slow, sharp and soft. The result is a mix which keeps you on your toes as it takes agile twists and turns, alternating between being jacking and bizarre, it transports us deep into a rave where it feels like anything could happen.

Katiusha’s style swims between a love of deep, dark sounds and the zesty attitude of the UK scene.  Originally from London, now based in Berlin, she can be found playing at Griessmühle, Suicide Circus and Cashmere Radio.

She says about the mix: “I started out wanting to make something dark and techno-oriented for this mix, but ended up gravitating more towards a colourful tip instead. A few of the tracks feel like throwbacks to summer when I was enjoying airing out some weirder selections. Then there are some favourites I've been sitting on for a while, like the He-Men and RSD tracks... I also felt like it was good to start on the Peder Mannerfelt number, as I get lost in anxieties about creativity and choice during the recording process – but it was a neat reminder to just get on with it and play what came to the surface.”

Tracklist:

Peder Mannerfelt – Limits to Growth

LXV – Hush

J-Zbel – Bertrand Du Mont D'or

Lila Tirando a Violeta – Wake Up (Serpiente Reina) (feat. Nick Leon)

JESUSLOVESACID – Swimming

The He-Men – 3 hours

Nick Höppner – Paws

Metrist – OL Face You Got

Toma Kami – This Side Up (Forest Drive West remix)

Auden – Xerox Vina Konda – Arsia Mons

Kreggo – 1 2 3 4

AQXDM – Leisure Techno

Drasko V & Kero – Superheavy (Jesse Somfay Remix)

Detroit Grand Pubahs – Sandwiches (Krafty Kuts Remix)

Joe Craven – Landing Strip

RSD – Kingfisher

Rian Treanor – ATAXIA_B2

Buttechno – Boloto Acid

Jurchen – I’m Everything You’re Not

Airhead – Black Lake

Gramrcy – ???

Barker –  Look How Hard I’ve Tried

FFT – orr din

Kelela – Frontline (Gaika)

IMO my pwhl free agent ranking of who’s still available

Please note I’m only doing players who were under contact last year and not undrafted free agents

Tier One: their phone should be buzzing

Daryl watts, Michela Cava, Hannah Miller, Kateřina Mrázová,

All these players were highly productive on their teams last season and are immediate impact players

Tier two: maybe not the first call, but should be highly sought after

Kaleigh Fratkin, Rebecca Leslie, Lauriane Rougeau, Gabrielle David, Claire Dalton, Abbey Levy, Sandra Abstreiter

These are proven players who had decent years, but may be called after tier one players and some draft picks get settled in to see where they fit in the roster .

Tier 3: building out your roster

Emma woods, Emma Greco, Lexie Adzija, Gigi Marvin, Amanda Pelkey, Sarah Bujold, Liz Schepers, Melissa Channell, Paetyn Levis, Kayla Vespa,

Fits into two groups; those who are Swiss army type middle six / pairing players who can play up and down the lineup. players who will still be third/fourth liners of depth defenders but were extremely effective in that spot, bumping them up a tier.

Tier Four: quality depth players

Madison Packer, Alexandra Labelle, Olivia Knowles, Carly Jackson, Sarah Lefort, Leah Lum, Jillian Dempsey, Madison Bizal, Catherine Dubois, Taylor Wenczkowski, Kelly babstock, Cami Kronish, Claire Butorac, Amanda Leveille, Lauren Bench, Shiann Darkangelo, Rachel McQuigge, Johanna Fällman, Lindsey post

Third/ fourth liners and third pair defender and goalies. Some of these players have a specific niche they fill, a lot are veterans, thus making me think they’ll get some early training camp invites. Unfortunately with a tight cap and limited spaces, it’s possible not all will be signed, but all will be considered

Tier four: reserves

Sam Cogan, Jess jones, Maude Poulin-Labelle, Jessica Kondas, Emma Keenan, Alexa Vasko, Kaitlin Willoughby, Liliane Perreault, Alexandra Poznikoff, Catherine Daoust, Madison Bizal, Brigitte Laganière, Nicole Kosta, Abby Cook, Brooke Bryant, Clair DeGeorge, Dominique Kremer, Nikki Nightengale, Akane Shiga, Rosalie Demers, Sammy Davis, Sam Isbell, Malia Schneider, Emma Buckles, Lauren MacInnis, Carley Olivier, Olivia Zafuto, Alexa Gruschow, Taylor Baker,

A lot of these players here either played little last year or were already reserves, or are playing a position/niche that is overcrowded. Many of these players are talented and could def earn a spot for a team that they gel right with, but likely wouldn’t be until after training camp. This tier is pretty close to tier three and probs a lot of overlap depending on a coaches evaluation of how players fit in their system

Tier ?: the unknown

Sydney Brodt, Mikyla Grant Mentis, Audrey-Anne Veillette, Ann-Sophie Bettez, Caitrin Lonergan, Fanni Garát-Gasparics, Kristin Della Rovere

These players did not play a lot last year due to various circumstances but were pretty impactful / took on high end roles when they did. Because of that, they separate themselves from other players who saw limited minutes and may be ore sought after. The exception is Veillette, who straight up DNP due to injury, but was thought pretty highly of when drafted. Bettez is also a weird one here because though she missed a lot this year, everyone knows what she’s capable of, but I don’t think she’d be willing to leave Montreal
