New York Sirens Stock up in 1st Round of PWHL Draft by Selecting Kaltounkova 1st and O’Brien 3rd
- The New York Sirens restocked their roster on Tuesday night by selecting Kristyna Kaltounkova first overall and Casey O'Brien third in the PWHL draft held in Ottawa.
- The Sirens traded top defender Ella Shelton to Toronto to acquire the third and 27th picks, aiming to fill major offensive gaps after losing leading scorers and their starting goalie to Seattle in the expansion draft.
- Czech forward Kaltounkova, who finished her five-year tenure at Colgate as the program’s all-time leader in goals scored and ranks second in overall points , has reunited with coach Greg Fargo. Meanwhile, O’Brien, the recipient of the 2024-25 Patty Kazmaier Award, set a new Wisconsin record by accumulating 274 points over 182 games.
- Sirens GM Pascal Daoust said, "Now we have more tools to play," while O'Brien noted she is excited to bring her defensive-zone strengths to the team and that joining New York feels like coming home.
- The draft signaled a strategic shift for the Sirens, who finished last in the first two PWHL seasons with a league-low 71 goals, suggesting the additions aim to improve competitiveness and address offensive shortcomings.
