Today the Toronto Furies announced that they have pre-signed 2018 Olympic silver medalist Sarah Nurse from the CWHL Draft list. Moreover they have specified she will be their first selection, making her the second overall pick in the 2018 draft.
Nurse was one of the most coveted forwards on the draft list—the only Canadian Olympian, she scored one of Canada’s prettiest goals at Pyeongchang (if the below video is geoblocked for you, try this NBC version).
While this was only her second stint with the senior women’s team (she played four games with Team Canada in the 2015 4 Nations Cup), it doubtless won’t be her last.
