This is your hub for today's PWHL draft. We'll track the main draft here while we work on covering the top Toronto picks.
How to Watch
The draft is livestreamed from Toronto and is on so many platforms, one is bound to suit you, and you can find the list here:

For non-Canadian residents, look for the CBC Youtube stream as a sure thing, but avoid the Canadian website streams from CBC or TSN/SN.
The first few rounds will have commentary – and will likely fill the afternoon. After that it will speed up, and likely get dropped on the actual TV channels.
When
The draft is set to begin at 1 p.m., and since this is all new, we can't guess how long it will take.

Who
The draft will allow the six PWHL teams to select 15 players each, or 90 in total, out of the 268 players who registered.
PWHLNafio made the list into a spreadsheet so we can all read it more easily:

This last one is here to show that forwards fill in all possible ages, while the defence is clustered around 25 more like we'd expect (from NCAA eligibility keeping younger players out in this case).
