Training Camp to feature 28 players beginning November 7
NEW YORK (October 16, 2025) – The New York Sirens have announced its training camp roster in preparation for the 2025-26 Professional Women’s Hockey League (PWHL) season. The camp roster includes a total of 28 players who will hit the ice for the first time as a group on Tuesday, Nov. 11 at Essex County Codey Arena.
Two players have NY State connections including Anne Cherkowski who played for Clarkson and Kristyna Kaltounkova who played for Colgate.
“Many of our returning players used the offseason to take another step toward reaching their full potential,” said Sirens General Manager Pascal Daoust. “Several new faces have joined us – bringing energy, hunger, and the determination to make a strong impression and embrace the opportunity this season presents. There are plenty of unknowns, but even more possibilities. As we open camp and move closer to the season, we’ll discover more about who we are and what we can become together. We know we have excellent players. The exciting part is finding out just how great this team can be. This camp isn’t about proving who we are – it’s about discovering how high we can rise, together.”
The camp roster of 28 players consists of 16 forwards, nine defenders and three goaltenders. It includes 18 players who are already signed for the upcoming season and a total of 13 returnees. Of the 10 unsigned players, six are members of the team’s 2025 draft class plus four additional invites. Rosters for the 2025-26 season must be finalized by Wednesday, Nov. 19, and can include a maximum of 23 active players.
As part of Training Camp, the Sirens will play two preseason scrimmages against the Minnesota Frost on Nov. 13 at 3 p.m. ET and Nov. 14 at 12 p.m. ET at Essex County Codey Arena. Preseason Scrimmages are closed to the general public and will not be available to view via broadcast or livestream. Fans can follow the action with live stats recorded at thepwhl.com and updates across league and team social media channels.
The Sirens will open the 2025-26 regular season on Saturday, Nov. 22 against the Ottawa Charge at TD Place. The team’s home opener is scheduled for Saturday, Nov. 29 against PWHL Vancouver at Prudential Center.
