Chloe Primarano is the first ever female to be selected in a WHL Bantam Draft.
Congratulations Chloe!
Primerano won香蕉视频直播檛 be the first female to play in the league. That title went to Shannon Szabados when she became the first female player to take to the ice in a regular season WHL game in September 2002.
Three females have appeared in games in the Quebec Major Junior League. In March, 2022 goaltender Eve Gascon started a game for the Gatineau Olympiques. Prior to that in 1999-2001, goaltender Charline Labonte appeared in 28 games for Acadie-Bathurst. Manon Rheaume suited up for Trois-Rivieres during the 1991-1992 season.
In 2021 goaltender Taya Currie became the first female drafted to the Ontario Hockey League when she was selected by the Sarnia Sting in the 14th round (267th overall).
Primerano is coming off a strong season.
香蕉视频直播淚 would say I香蕉视频直播檓 a two-way defenceman,香蕉视频直播� she said in a Giants interview. 香蕉视频直播淚 can go up in the rush and go in the offensive zone but when it comes time to play shutdown, I can do that as well.香蕉视频直播�
She said her fellow players and coaching staff made a great atmosphere that allowed her to excel, adding that she香蕉视频直播檚 got a good support system in place.
香蕉视频直播淢y family香蕉视频直播檚 really helped me in this, they香蕉视频直播檝e always supported me in my journey.香蕉视频直播�
The draft selection means she will have a busy summer as she trains to start her WHL journey.
香蕉视频直播淚香蕉视频直播檝e just got to keep working hard,香蕉视频直播� Primerano said.
