Hayley Wickenheiser to enter the CWHL draft, join Calgary Inferno

The women's hockey scene in Calgary was already pretty good, but this is a massive get. Time to start going to watch the games, everyone.

If you're a hockey fan, then you know who Hayley Wickenheiser is. One of the most prolific women to ever play the game, she's a four-time Olympic gold medalist, one-time silver, a former University of Calgary Dino, and soon, she'll be a member of the Calgary Inferno.

Wickenheiser will enter the CWHL draft, slated for Aug. 23, 2015, with the intention of being selected by the Inferno. Under CWHL rules, players submit a list of "acceptable locations" where they would like to play, choosing as few as one or as many as three.
