Three Edmonton-area hockey players heard their names called at Wednesday’s Professional Women’s Hockey League draft held in Detroit, two of them by Boston’s team.

The Seattle Torrent called Emerson Jarvis’s name in the third round of the draft with the 36th overall pick, while the Boston Fleet made Jaden Bogden their fourth round, 46th overall, selection and Jenna Goodwin their fifth round pick at 58th overall.

The Mundare-born Jarvis, 21, is a forward who played for Connecticut’s Quinnipiac University the last three seasons after starting her U.S. collegiate career with Ohio State. She was second in Quinnipiac scoring last season, recording 17 goals and 21 assists for 38 points in 41 games played for the NCAA Div. 1 Bobcats. The Bev Facey high school grad played minor hockey in Sherwood Park and Edmonton.

Bogden, who played the last two seasons for Northeastern University after beginning her U.S. collegiate career at Clarkson University, scored seven goals and seven assists for 14 points in 32 games in 2025-26 for the Boston-based Huskies. The 23-year-old forward, who played minor hockey in Edmonton and St. Albert before heading to Clarkson in 2020, served as an alternate captain last season.

The Fleet also added Sherwood Park’s Goodwin, a 23-year-old forward who played last season in Sweden with the Frölunda HC women’s squad after a four-year U.S. collegiate career at upstate New York’s Clarkson.

The trio joins four other Edmonton-area and northern Alberta players already in the league.

Dayle Ross, 23, of Spirit River, is a defender for the New York Sirens who played her first PWHL season in 2025-26 after a collegiate career with St. Cloud State. The town of Spirit River is 80 kilometres north of Grande Prairie.

Defender Stephanie Markowski, 24, of Edmonton, has played two seasons for the Ottawa Charge. She won a U.S. national collegiate championship with Ohio State in 2024 and previously played at Clarkson University.

Danielle Serdachny, 25, of Edmonton. plays for the Seattle Torrent. She’s a two-year PWHL veteran, having played her first season with the Charge before Seattle took her in last season’s expansion draft. The forward played U.S. collegiate hockey for Colgate University and has played for Canada at the last three world women’s hockey championships, winning gold once.

Emerance Maschmeyer, 31, of Bruderheim, has played in all three PWHL seasons so far, the first two with the Charge and the most recent campaign with the Vancouver Goldeneyes, who took her in last year’s expansion draft. The goalie has been a Canadian women’s national team mainstay over the last decade, winning three world championship golds and, in 2022, one Olympic gold.
