15-year-old Chloe Primerano made history on Thursday night by becoming the first female skater drafted in the Canadian Hockey League.
The defender was chosen in the 13th round, 267th overall, by the Vancouver Giants in the 2022 WHL Prospects Draft.
Primerano was chosen by her hometown team, as she’s from North Vancouver. She had 17 assists and 19 points in 30 games with the Burnaby Winter Club’s U15 Program last season.
“I was driving home from school with my mom in the car and I was just praying for it and it just happened and I was in shock, honestly,” Primerano said, via the Vancouver Giants website.
