For the second straight draft a St. George’s School (Vancouver, BC) defenseman was selected second overall as Holden Wouters was taken by the Edmonton Oil Kings.

STAR Hockey Academy (Kent, WA) captain Levi Ellingsen became the second ever CSSHL student-athlete selected first overall at the U.S. Priority Draft, joining RHA Kelowna (Kelowna, BC) forward Brody Gillespie, who was selected by the Spokane Chiefs in 2023.

Overall, 11 CSSHL student-athletes were selected in the first round while 84 players were selected in total at the 2024 WHL Prospects Draft. Of those 84, 48 were taken in the first 4 rounds/92 picks. Overall, 37% of the WHL Prospects Draft came from the CSSHL, the third highest percentage total in league history, behind 2021 (45%), 2022 (40%) and tied with 2024 (37%).听

WHL Prospects Draft

Former CSSHL Student-Athletes WHL Prospects Draft

The post CSSHL at the WHL Draft: 2025 first appeared on 麻豆传媒入口.

Round 1, Pick 1 (Kris Hogg): Chloe Primerano, Defenseman, BWC Academy/RHA Kelowna听

A new age defenseman that can impact in all aspects of the game. Like having a 4th forward on the ice and her vision and spatial awareness allows her to manipulate the play in her favour. A player that makes an impact every shift she is on the ice. Top Scorer, MVP and also a two time CSSHL Champion in her two years. In her CSSHL years, she sits 2nd in overall points and 6th in goals all while being a suburb defender. She entered her university career a year early and continues to set records at the U18 Women鈥檚 Worlds and being one of the youngest defenders to ever suit up in a Women鈥檚 World Championship this past April. Prior to the CSSHL Female Prep Division she skated on the Male Bantam Prep Division where she was the first ever Female Skater selected in a CHL Draft.听

Round 1, Pick 2 (Kai Farenholtz): Danielle Serdachny, Forward, Pursuit of Excellence (RHA Kelowna)

Despite only playing two seasons in the CSSHL, Serdachny was able to post over 100 career points in a mere 49 appearances. In Serdachny鈥檚 two seasons with POE, she would be apart of two consecutive division championships and take home an MVP in her second CSSHL season. Her prolific scoring touch would continue to thrive at the college level, where she would garner 238 points across her NCAA career with Colgate University. Serdachny currently plays with the Ottawa Charge in the PWHL after being selected second overall in the 2024 PWHL Draft.

Round 1, Pick 3 (Jordan Martin): Maisie Cope, Goalie, Delta Hockey Academy

Back-to-Back CSSHL Top Goaltender Awards to wrap up an impressive CSSHL career that saw her finish second all time in wins with 38. In a division dominated by RHA Kelowna the last four seasons, the University of Calgary commit handed them 2 of their 3 losses the past two seasons (sorry Kris). The Victoria, BC netminder finished her three year CSSHL career with a 34-8-3 record, 9 shutouts, a .929 SV% and 2.09 GAA.听

Round 2, Pick 4 (Jordan Martin): Gracie Graham, Defense, RHA Kelowna

Graham sits third all-time among CSSHL defensemen with 70 career regular season assists, winning three CSSHL Female U18 Prep Championships in three straight seasons. The CSSHL Female U18 Prep Top Freshman in 2021/22 and the CSSHL Female U18 Prep Top Defenseman in 2023/24, Graham finished with 34 goals, 70 assists and 104 points in just 79 games. Among defensemen, her career totals see her ranked third in goals, third in assists, and third in points, while her 1.32 points-per-game is second.听

Round 2, Pick 5 (Kai Farenholtz): Danica Maynard, Defense, Okanagan Hockey Academy/RHA Kelowna

Not many in the history of the Female division in CSSHL history were able to dish the puck better than Maynard. Sitting atop of the all-time assists leaderboard, Maynard acquired 108 assists across her time with OHA and RHA Kelowna. Maynard鈥檚 blend of hockey IQ and elite skating made her not only an offensive threat in the opponent’s zone, but a solid piece in her own end as well, disrupting plays and quickly progressing the play up the ice once the puck reached her stick. After capturing two championships with RHA Kelowna in her final two years in the CSSHL along with her catalogue of offensive talent, Maynard stands as one of the greatest blue-liners the CSSHL has ever seen.

Round 2, Pick 6 (Kris Hogg): Anne Cherkowski, Forward, Pursuit of Excellence (RHA Kelowna)

Cherkowski sits atop the leaderboard in points (165) and goals (85) all time in the CSSHL. A model of consistency, you always know you’ll get a contribution from her whether it’s on the scoreboard or killing a penalty or winning a big face-off.听 Her IQ is one of the best in the entire female game which allows her to play in all roles and log big minutes. She carries with her two CSSHL Championships along with a gold and silver medal from the U18 Worlds with Canada. I am fortunate enough to have coached her at the U18 level and also in her last year at Clarkson (2024-25) in which she was named a first team ECAC All Star and will be a top pick in this year鈥檚 PWHL Draft. She continues to knock on Team Canada鈥檚 door suiting up in the Rivalry Series and captaining the U22 Collegiate Team. Plus, I don鈥檛 think anyone is going to beat her record of an 8 goal game on the female side anytime soon.听

Round 3, Pick 7 (Kris Hogg): Dara Greig, Forward, Pursuit of Excellence (RHA Kelowna)

Greig had an outstanding career and sits 5th in all time scoring in the CSSHL. Her 100 assists also sits 3rd all time making her not only a threat to score, but also make plays. With two CSSHL Championships to her name, her power forward approach to the game allows her to speed up or slow down the game with the puck on her stick. Her size and possession game creates extended ozone time for her and her linemates and wears other teams down.听 She鈥檚 as competitive as they come and is someone you want on the ice when you need a goal. This is also a strategic pick with Greig and Cherkowski playing three years together on the same line and power play which caused trouble for all opposition and goalies throughout those years. Dara moved on from a successful NCAA career winning a National Championship with Wisconsin to be selected 23rd overall to the Montreal Victoire in the 2024 PWHL Draft where she currently plays.听

Round 3, Pick 8 (Kai Farenholtz): Kendal Davidson, Defense, South Alberta Hockey Academy

Before suiting up with SAHA, Davidson spent two seasons playing U15 AA & AAA on the male side in Lethbridge. When she made the jump to Female U18 Prep, her blend of speed, size and a lethal shot made her an instant threat in the CSSHL. Going through footage in my first season with the CSSHL, I was always excited to see how Davidson would collect her goals/points given her skillset. Not many could stop Davidson once she got a head of steam coming out of her own zone, always keeping defenders on their toes whenever the puck was on her blade. Davidson recorded back-to-back double-digit goals in her two full seasons with SAHA before advancing to Union College in the NCAA, picking up the title for top defenseman in the 2022-23 season.

Round 3, Pick 9 (Jordan Martin): Sarah Wozniewicz, Forward, Edge School

I remember watching her during her 2019/20 CSSHL MVP winning season and at one particular game a handful of WHL scouts who were in the arena for a U15 Prep game were blown away by her ability to dominate in the Female U18 Prep division. She would finish second in scoring that season with 52 points in 24 regular season games before leading Edge to their first ever CSSHL Female U18 Prep Championship. Wozniewicz finished her CSSHL career tied for 6th with 59 goals and 15th with 108 points. The Cochrane, AB forward has won two NCAA Championships with the University of Wisconsin, posting 35 goals and 36 assists in her four seasons with the Badgers.听

Round 4, Pick 10 (Jordan Martin): Rylind MacKinnon, Defense, Northern Alberta Xtreme

You might not find her at the top of the leaderboards like a lot of the defensemen selected above her, but her impact on the CSSHL and NAX makes her well deserving of a Top 10 selection. In three CSSHL seasons from 2015-18 the Cranbrook, BC defender tallied 8 goals and 25 assists for 33 points in 48 games. Her best season would come in 2017/18 when she produced at a point-per-game pace to capture the CSSHL MVP Award. MacKinnon would go on to play five seasons with UBC where she was named to the U SPORTS All-Rookie Team in 2018/19 and a U SPORTS First Team All-Star in 2023/24. Undrafted to the PWHL, MacKinnon became the first skater in league history to sign a contract in the PWHL directly out of U Sports and has tallied 2 points in 22 games with the Toronto Sceptres this season.听

Round 4, Pick 11 (Kai Farenholtz): Morgan Jackson, Forward, Shawnigan Lake School

One of the more dangerous forwards we鈥檝e seen throughout the history of the Female U18 Prep division, Jackson was a constant threat in the offensive zone with her cerebral hockey IQ, elite playmaking and wicked shot. In her two seasons with Shawnigan, Jackson collected 119 points in only 49 games. Her 2.43 points per game stands alone at the top for the highest rate of production the Female U18 Prep division has ever seen. Despite coming shy of a championship in her two seasons with Shawnigan her production didn鈥檛 taper off in the postseason, still acquiring a bountiful 24 points across 10 career playoff matches. Add another season of CSSHL competition under her belt and I don鈥檛 think it鈥檚 far off to say that Jackson could have ended her CSSHL career as the Female U18 Prep鈥檚 all-time leading scorer.

Round 4, Pick 12 (Kris Hogg): Stephanie Markowski, Defense, Pursuit of Excellence (RHA Kelowna)

Stephanie is the ultimate competitor and a true winner. No team or list is complete without including her. Her contributions go beyond just points as although she completed her CSSHL career with well over a point per game (58pts in 45 games), she also was trusted in logging big minutes in shut down roles and also a force to be reckoned with 72 penalty minutes. If you somehow got around her using your feet, which didn’t happen very often, she made sure she used her body to shut that play down. A true winner, she is the only player ever to win an ESSO Cup, CSSHL Championship, U18 Women鈥檚 World Gold Medal, Canada Winter Games Gold and a NCAA National Championship. She is the first former CSSHL Defenseman selected in the PWHL going 20th overall to the Ottawa Charge in the 2024 Draft. She currently has 5 points in 25 games. She continues to get looks from Hockey Canada, attending multiple National Camps. All this girl does is win.听

Round 5, Pick 13 (Kris Hogg): Kennedy Sisson, Forward, Okanagan Hockey Academy/RHA Kelowna,听

As Kennedy moves into her final season before heading off to Clarkson University, she sits near the top in every single offensive category. Passing the all time games played mark this past season (2024-2025), she currently sits 3rd in goals (74), 5th in assists (77) and 4th (151) in overall points. This next season she’s on pace to move into 1st overall in all of those categories. She鈥檚 smooth and slick with the puck and can turn nothing into something and has the vision to make and see plays well into the future. She’s a player that will continue to climb the ranks within her province and country. Every year she鈥檚 always near the top in scoring and as she ages this doesn’t look to be slowing down anytime soon. She has thre CSSHL Championship Rings and looks to make it a 4th next year. Whatever Cherkowski or Greig don鈥檛 score on, Sisson will be there to clean it up. That is, if Chloe doesn鈥檛 just score initially.听

Round 5, Pick 14 (Kai Farenholtz): Alix Walchuk, Goalie, Delta Hockey Academy/Shawnigan Lake School

Reigning from Whitehorse, YT, it鈥檚 fair to say Walchuk has had ice in her veins during her tenure in the CSSHL. Every five games, you could statistically predict Walchuk would post a shutout, garnering 11 clean sheets in 55 career games. Her past two seasons split between Delta Hockey Academy and Shawnigan Lake School have been nothing short of miraculous, posting a combined 2.31 GAA and 0.923 SV% across 36 games. Including playoffs, Walchuk has made over 1500 saves in her CSSHL career. She is set to begin her college career this upcoming fall with York University in Toronto, ON.听

Round 5, Pick 15 (Jordan Martin): Mikayla Boarder, Forward, Shawnigan Lake School

Kai made the mistake of selecting a goalie with his last pick despite me no longer needing one, opening the door for me to select two high scoring forwards. Boarder eased into the CSSHL with 19 points in 24 games her first season before exploding for a combined 104 points in 54 games her last two. The Richland, WA forward led the CSSHL with 41 assists and 60 points in 2022/23, her last season in the league. She ranks in the Top 10 All-Time with 125 points (8th) and 76 assists (6th) and currently plays with the University of Maine, tallying 23 points in 67 NCAA games.听

Round 6, Pick 16 (Jordan Martin): Alida Korte, Forward, RHA Kelowna

While the CSSHL playing days of most of the players selected in this draft are over, the best days for Korte are yet to come. Korte currently sits 12th All-Time with 115 points and 8th with 72 assists, trailing only Kennedy Sisson among active CSSHL skaters. While Sisson has accomplished this feat in four seasons, Korte has done it in just two with 52 points in 2023/24 and 63 points in 2024/25. Selected as a BC Division First Team All-Star and CSSHL MVP Award Finalist this past season, another strong season from the Saskatoon, SK forward should vault her into a Top 2-3 finish for points in a CSSHL career, likely only trailing Sissons. The definition of a 鈥済ame changer鈥�, Korte鈥檚 superb offensive skill set has helped lead RHA Kelowna to back-to-back CSSHL Championships, including being named Championships MVP this past season. With a gold medal at the most recent U18 Women鈥檚 World Championships, expect her to play a key role for Team Canada next season.听

Round 6, Pick 17 (Kai Farenholtz): Rowyn Street, Forward, RHA Winnipeg

I had some internal debate with this pick with Street still having at least two more years of eligibility in the CSSHL, but from what I have gathered over the last two seasons watching her footage and seeing her game develop and grow鈥� it was hard for me not to select her. Street entered the CSSHL with RHA Winnipeg after playing a full season with the Winnipeg Wild in U15 AAA competition with the boys in Manitoba. Since then, she has posted 51 goals in 60 career games, enough to leave her already tied for 13th all-time in Female U18 Prep goals. At the pace she is on, that number is set to rise drastically over her potential next two years in the CSSHL. Away from just the stats, Street is a complete offensive threat with an elite shot for her age along with a full skillset across the board, most notably in my eyes with her skating and puck control. Of her 51 career goals, 40 have come at even strength while another 4 have come shorthanded. Her presence on the ice cannot be ignored as she is used in every facet of the game. You can say this pick is premature at this stage, but acknowledging the stats and witnessing her game over the last two seasons, Street鈥檚 game is already amongst the best from my perspective.

Round 6, Pick 18 (Kris Hogg): Farah Walker, Goalie, Edge School/Okanagan Hockey Academy/RHA Kelowna

A four year CSSHL player, Farah was the first ever female goalie to play in a boys division with Edge U15 in the 2019/2020 season.

The post CSSHL All-Time Female Fantasy Draft first appeared on 麻豆传媒入口.

The three-time Masters Champion and six-time Majors Champions wore custom Nike Jordan 1 Low shoes with custom colors, graphics and artwork, designed by former 麻豆传媒入口 (CSSHL) student-athlete James deVos.

鈥淭he shoes were inspired by Phil鈥檚 victories at Augusta in 2004, 2006, and 2010 鈥� one of which I remember vividly watching when I was five years old,鈥� said deVos. 鈥淭hey also pay tribute to Augusta鈥檚 roots, being built on the former Fruitland Nurseries, famous for its exotic plants. That floral legacy still lives on in every azalea, magnolia, and camellia across the course.鈥�

Originally from Vanderhoof, BC, deVos played in the CSSHL with Okanagan Hockey Academy (OHA) from 2014鈥�2017. deVos hockey career ended after the 2016/17 CSSHL season and his future seemed uncertain.

鈥淗ockey had been such a big part of my life for so long that when it came time to step away, I honestly didn鈥檛 know what was next,鈥� said deVos. 鈥淚 didn鈥檛 have a clear plan, but what I did know is that a good start would be to study business but it wasn鈥檛 a passion. I still had that drive in me for something new, I just needed to find the right outlet.鈥�

That outlet would come while pursuing a Bachelor of Commerce degree at Dalhousie University, majoring in accounting. deVos started experimenting with sneaker concepts in his spare time. It started small, but he quickly realized he loved the process of creating something from scratch, and turning an idea into a final product. 鈥淚t gave me a similar sense of purpose and challenge that hockey once did.鈥�

deVos first project was in 2020: a pair of custom Vans for a local board short/clothing brand, in exchange for free clothes, an offer he couldn鈥檛 refuse as a broke university student. While deVos has a 鈥�9-to-5鈥� at Marsh & McLennan Companies in the Captive Insurance sector, he鈥檚 been building his brand by networking through social media and taking on custom work for clients ranging from small businesses to professional athletes.

Along with Mickelson, deVos has created shoes for some notable people including rapper Mike (formerly Mike Stud), PGA Pro Max Homa, social media personality, podcaster, and entrepreneur, Jeff Wittek, writer and member of the 鈥榁log Squad鈥� Toddy Smith, Founder and CEO of 鈥楲.A.B. Golf鈥� Sam Hahn, founder of 鈥楩ull Wedge Golf鈥� Andrew McClelland, and Founders of Neighbourhood Creative and hosts of the 鈥楶odcast Money Buys Happiness鈥� Ernesto Gaita & Anthony Sorella.

鈥淭his project was a major milestone in my sneaker journey. Everything had to come together perfectly 鈥� late nights, last-minute tweaks, tight shipping deadlines. And even with all of that, there was still no guarantee they鈥檇 actually be worn,鈥� added deVos. 鈥淔ast forward, and not only did that dream come true 鈥� it happened with Phil Mickelson, one of the greatest to ever play the game wearing one of my designs at the biggest golf tournament in the world.鈥�

deVos is one of the many CSSHL student-athletes who have found success outside of the game, reaching new found hopes and dreams they may not have had as they developed and grew within the league, both on and off the ice.

鈥淚 played on four different teams during my three years there, bouncing around between teams, and eventually working my way up to the top U18 Prep team. That journey taught me a lot about perseverance. Those lessons have stuck with me and helped shape who I am today, both personally and professionally. Everyone defines success differently, and OHA helped me build the foundation for my version of it,鈥� remarked deVos. 鈥淭he work ethic I developed through sports helped me stay consistent, but more importantly, hockey gave me the confidence to connect with people and the ability to market myself 鈥� mostly by letting my work speak for itself. That mindset made the transition feel natural, even if it wasn鈥檛 the path I expected.鈥�

deVos career path has taken him on a journey he didn鈥檛 imagine as he pursued his hockey dreams at OHA and in the CSSHL. Today he resides in Oahu, Hawaii and mentioned a big perk of his job was connecting with like-minded individuals and learning from people who鈥檝e found success in their fields.

鈥淔or those kids in the CSSHL or other leagues, always remember: hockey is something you do 鈥� not who you are. It doesn鈥檛 define your identity. There will come a day when you hang up the skates regardless of what level you make it too, and that transition can be tough and one can almost feel lost 鈥� it definitely was that for me, more than I expected but it鈥檚 okay to feel that way. But my advice: find something else you love, and chase it. I know it sounds clich茅, but it鈥檚 a cliche for a reason. Whether it鈥檚 within the hockey world or a totally different space 鈥� if you apply the same work ethic and dedication you brought to the sport, you鈥檒l find success in whatever path you choose.鈥�

In terms of chasing his own dreams, in the short-term, deVos wants to keep creating custom sneakers for people who inspire him 鈥� whether that鈥檚 athletes, entrepreneurs, musicians, comedians, or creators, all while continuing to grow his brand and continue developing relationships in the golf and hockey industries, especially with the PGA Tour, LIV Golf, and the NHL.

Long-term, deVos would love to grow his brand into a full-time business and eventually work for himself 鈥� doing what he鈥檚 passionate about every day.

While deVos continues to build a career that would allow him to work for himself, he noted he couldn鈥檛 have done this alone.

鈥淔irst and foremost, my family 鈥� my dad Pete, mom Dy, and brother Andrew. Their support and sacrifices have meant everything, especially since I left home at 18 and moved across the country 鈥� and eventually across the world. That distance hasn鈥檛 been easy. I鈥檇 also like to thank my coaches from OHA, Jason Becker, Craig Bedard, Robert Dirk, Stu Barnes, Kip Noble, and Dixon Ward.鈥�

鈥淎nd last but absolutely not least 鈥� my girlfriend and best friend Samara. She鈥檚 been with me through it all: celebrating the wins, helping me through the losses, brainstorming ideas, and reminding me to enjoy every moment. To live in the present. Her support and continued belief in me have been truly meaningful,鈥� added deVos.
