About this listen
Danielle Serdachny has been making headlines all week as one of the most watched young stars in women’s hockey. According to The PWHL on June 5th, she officially joined PWHL Seattle, signing a two-year contract to become the expansion franchise’s second-ever signing and setting her up as a foundational player in a brand new market. This move is considered especially significant since Serdachny was the second overall pick in the 2024 PWHL Draft and just capped her rookie campaign in Ottawa with two goals and six assists, tying for the team rookie scoring lead. General Manager Meghan Turner praised her grit and ability to play through contact, calling her a tremendous addition. Serdachny herself expressed excitement about helping to build a legacy for hockey in Seattle and being one of the team’s first players. She joins a team that’s made big splashes by also signing Hilary Knight, the league’s reigning points leader and MVP finalist.
Seattle launched its first-ever training camp this week at the Kraken Community Iceplex. The Hockey News reported that Serdachny spoke candidly about the nerves and excitement of this fresh start, saying it hit her all at once as she began camp in a new city, new league, and with a new team identity. She commented on the urgency and intensity of preparations, given that the team’s first preseason games are already coming up in Vancouver. With only three days for training and multiple roster spots up for grabs, the environment has been described as electric and hyper-competitive. Serdachny looks forward to building new chemistry with her teammates and playing a key part in forming the team’s gritty, hard-to-play-against culture. She even acknowledged, “We know other teams have a target on our backs with all these moves, but it’ll be a great challenge.”
On the accolades front, The Ice Garden just ranked Serdachny 12th on its Top 25 Women’s Hockey Players Under 25 for 2025, highlighting her clutch playmaking and international success. She recently represented Team Canada at the 2025 World Championship, notching two goals and two assists, and previously scored the famous golden goal to win gold for Canada in 2024. Her work in international play remains a defining part of her reputation, as she’s been a proven scorer and leader going back to her days captaining Colgate, where she graduated as the school’s all-time leading scorer.
For podcast listeners and fans tracking her story, this whirlwind of activity marks a major new chapter—an expansion team, fresh contract, high expectations, and another chance to shine on the women’s hockey stage.
