The Boston Fleet has some new faces joining the bench this season, including top draft pick Haley Winn. The Rochester native had an incredible career at Clarkson University, earning the ECAC Player of the Year honor and etching her name in the history books as the second highest-scoring defender in the nation. She comes to Boston with a strong hockey IQ and compete level. She followed her brothers into the sport years ago and has had her eyes set on competing at the highest level since then; and now she's here and she's soaking in every second. Today we dive in to:

• First trip to Boston & checking off all the tourist stops
• 2025 PWHL Draft -- emotions surrounding the weeks leading up to it and following it
• How training at home in Rochester this summer has helped her soak in this dream & help prepare her for the big transition
• Influence her brothers and family have had on her life and love for the sport
• Hobbies off the ice (she's taking recommendations!)
• What it's really like to play on a national team and train at the camps (especially in an Olympic year!)
• Lessons she's learning as she preps for first professional season

It's been quite the summer for KC Current defender Izzy Rodriguez! First, she earned her first cap, first start and first goal for the USWNT on the same day. Then she signed a 3-year contract extension with the KC Current, the franchise she has been with since she was drafted in 2022. Izzy is known as one of the best teammates in the league, a true student of the game, and relentless defender. Today we dive in to:

• Why signing a 3-year contract extension with KC Current was an obvious and exciting choice
• How she defines and experiences the "championship environment" the team has created
• The importance of collective buy-in and individual moments of brilliance for team success
• Mindset approach for each NWSL game as they sit at the top of standings
• USWNT debut -- first cap, first start, first goal
• Value of exploring multiple sports as a kid
• Hobbies off the pitch (S/O fellow Crime Junkies)
