The Minnesota franchise won the draft lottery on Friday and will select first in the Professional Women’s Hockey League player draft later this month.
The draft will be a snake-draft format, meaning Minnesota will hold the first pick in the first round and the last pick in the second round.
Natalie Darwitz was named general manager of the Minnesota franchise earlier on Friday.

The first-ever PWHL player draft will take place in Toronto on Sept. 18. The draft will run 15 rounds deep. Draft order will be determined by a lottery, and will follow a snake-draft format (the team picking last in Round 1 will select first in Round 2).
By the end of draft day, teams will each have 18 players — three pre-draft free agent signings and 15 draftees. All undrafted players will become free agents immediately after the draft and can thus sign a standard player agreement with any team.
Training camp rosters, which each must have a minimum of 28 players, will be fleshed out through this second free agency period and via negotiated tryouts.
After a team drafts a player, that team holds the player’s signing rights for two years. If a contract is not signed during that time, the player can become eligible again to be drafted. A player can declare for a maximum of two drafts.
