Overview

  • Cara Gardner Morey was chosen from more than 200 applicants to become Vancouver’s inaugural PWHL general manager after 14 years coaching at Princeton.
  • The league’s exclusive signing window opens June 4, allowing expansion teams to negotiate with free agents before roster drafts.
  • Vancouver will take part in an expansion draft on June 9, followed by a leaguewide entry draft on June 24 to complete its inaugural roster.
  • During her Princeton tenure, Morey led the Tigers to an Ivy League title, two NCAA quarterfinal appearances and recruited standouts such as Claire Thompson and Sarah Fillier.
  • Morey aims to build a team defined by speed, skill and physicality and to instill a competitive culture from day one.
