  • Three Wcha Players Chosen on Day One of the 2018 Nwhl
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE THREE WCHA PLAYERS CHOSEN ON DAY ONE OF THE 2018 NWHL DRAFT Wisconsin’s Annie Pankowski is the first overall pick, while Minnesota’s Kelly Pannek and the Badgers’ Sophia Shaver are also selected BLOOMINGTON, Minn. – Dec. 19, 2018 – Led by the top overall pick, a trio of current women’s Western Collegiate Hockey Association (WCHA) seniors – all dynamic forwards – were chosen on Day One of the 2018 National Women’s Hockey League (NWHL) Draft. University of Wisconsin co-captain Annie Pankowski was tabbed by the Metropolitan Riveters with the draft’s first selection, University of Minnesota captain and Plymouth, Minn. native Kelly Pannek went to her home state Minnesota Whitecaps with the fourth overall pick, and UW’s Sophia Shaver – the Badgers’ other co-captain who hails from Wayzata, Minn. – was also chosen by the Whitecaps in the second round (ninth overall). “We are thrilled for Annie, Kelly and Sophia to have an opportunity to continue their hockey careers beyond college” said WCHA Vice President and Women’s League Commissioner Katie Million. “We have been fortunate to watch these three incredible talents in the WCHA over the last few years and know they will have an immensely positive postgraduate impact in the NWHL and beyond, both on and off the ice.” Pankowski, a redshirt-senior from Laguna Hills, Calif., leads the WCHA with 14 goals this season and enters the holiday break on a seven-game goal streak, the third-longest in UW history. A two-time Patty Kazmaier Memorial Award Top-10 Finalist, a two-time All-American and three-time All-WCHA selection (along with the 2015 Rookie of the Year), Pankowski ranks in the top-10 in Badgers history in goals, assists, points, plus/minus and shots on goal, and is tied for the school record with eight career shorthanded goals.
