Meet the Team: PWHL Seattle Mini-Primer

Hello! I am mostly a lurker and reblogger here but I am a Kraken fan and a newly minted PWHL Seattle fan. I have been paying peripheral attention to the PWHL (takeover tour game was LIT), but now that we are getting our own team I wanted to start digging my teeth in. Posting here to help build the community, but I am brand new to this so please let me know what I missed so I can refine the mini-primer as we go!

The vibes I am getting of this team so far…

Stacked as hell

Everyone watches women's sports

We love lesbians

Thanks especially to krackencord friends for the help getting started!!

Meet the first five...

Hilary Knight #21 aka Knighter

One of the best hockey players of all time 🐐 and Captain America 🇺🇸.

She was captain of the Boston Fleet.

“Signing Hilary Knight was an absolute no-brainer - she’s the heartbeat of any team she joins" Said PWHL Seattle General Manager Megan Turner.

She is a noted Kraken fan and loves the city of Seattle. Notably joined Alison Lukan & Linda Cohn during a Kraken broadcast this season.

She kinda grew up/has family in Sun Valley Idaho so about as local as you can get for this area of the US.

Dating another Olympian - US Speedskater Brittany Bowe (can you say power couple?).

She's 35 but not slowing down yet! Tied for PWHL points leader last season and second in goals. I cant list all her other accomplishments and awards because it would take forever.

Forward, from Palo Alto, California (Also grew up in Illinois and New Hampshire) signed to a 1 year deal.

Danielle Serdachny #92

Second overall pick in the draft last year but played bottom minutes last season (Seattle hockey loves a fresh start).

Seattle GM Megan Turner said: "She’s strong, plays through contact, and she’s only beginning to tap into her full potential"

Regarding her first season in the PWHL: "I didn't have as much of an impact as I hoped I would in my rookie year but I think this fresh start will be really good for me, the opportunity to play." under a new staff and new teammates... I hope I can turn some heads this year." (can't escape the narrative)

Scored the OT game winnee to secure Team Canada the gold in women's worlds last year.

All time leading scorer at Colgate University.

Came from the Walter cup final losing Ottawa Charge.

Forward from Edmonton, Alberta signed to a 2 year deal.

Cayla Barnes #23

LITERALLY ONE APPLE TALL (5'2")

Also coming off her rookie season, was drafted 5th overall by Montreal.

Cali gal who got her start playing roller hockey.

Has a chocolate lab named Hulk.

Another noted queer and dating a goalie!

She led the Victoire in time on ice last season.

Already a two time Olympic Medalist at 26.

Longer term deal, she's gonna be part of the core of the team.

GM Megan Turner "Even as a rookie last season, she played with the poise and presence of a veteran, and we see her playing a key role on our blue line."

Dynamic puck moving defender.

Defense from Eastvale, California signed to a 3 year deal.

Alex Carpenter #25 aka Carpy

The PWHL's all-time third leading scorer.

Her being left unprotected by NY was likely the biggest surprise, she also wore an A for them.

GMMT (is this anything?) says: “She’s an elite two-way player who has proven to be one of the best in the world for years, and she has the ability to take over a game at both ends of the ice. She’s hungry to win and brings the kind of drive that sets the tone for a team."

Patty Kazmaier Award Winner

Was on the US national team, got cut, then won her spot back and helped the team win gold in

Is also queer! Her partner wife is an assistant equipment managers for the Toronto Marlies.

Plays Mario Kart as Mario…?

Eldest daughter!!!! to Bobby Carpenter who played in the NHL for 18 seasons and won 1 Stanley Cups as a player and 2 as a coach with the Devils.

She participated in the 2023 NHL All-Star skills competition

Forward from North Reading, Massachussets signed to a 1 year contract.

Corinne Schroeder #30 aka Schroeds

Shutout QUEEN! Recorded the first-ever shutout in the first-ever PWHL and led the league with 4 shutouts with NY last season.

Noted fan-sign and chant enjoyer.

Sickest pads in in the PWHL.

 GMMT says “She brings poise, confidence, and the kind of elite goaltending every team needs to win, and we can’t wait to see her between the pipes for us.”

Goalie from Elm Creek, Manitoba signed to a 2 year contract.

Sidenote about her hometown...

Population of 339

Claim to fame? Home to the second largest fire hydrant in Canada, and Corinne Schroeder.

No literally she is the ONLY NOTABLE PERSON ON THEIR WIKIPEDIA PAGE).

Additional sidenote, consensus between Sirens fans is that we got their two best players ( sorry u guys okay over there?)

Media to endear you:

This Comment

Goodbye videos for Knight, Schroeder, Barnes (second slide), Serdachny and Carpenter. These let us get to know them a little better and some sick highlights.

for me, this win was purely for virat. I'm sorry, but i don't care about anybody else but that man. i started crying when he did. cried when he fell to his knees. cried when he ran to anushka. cried when he ran into ab's arms. cried when he met gayle again. cried throughout his speech. i love him. 18th year of the ipl for number 18.

i don't believe in God but there was something out there this season, tonight.
