White Rock’s own Grace Elliot is headed to Seattle as the next step in her hockey career.
The 38th overall fourth-round pick for PWHL team Seattle Torrent in the Professional Women’s Hockey League (PWHL) Draft Wednesday (June 17), Elliot had an outstanding university sports career as a University of B.C. Thunderbird as well as reigning Canada West and U Sports Player of the year.
Elliot also finished the regular season as the top scorer in her conference — and in the entire country, leading the conference with 37 points and 24 goals in 28 games. She also broke the program’s all-time Canada West points record in December.
She was drafted around 5:30 p.m. Pacific Time Wefnesday, announced on the PWHL’s website and YouTube channel.
Peace Arch News has reached out to Elliott.
