The Professional Women's Hockey League (PWHL) announced Danielle Marmer as the general manager of Boston on Friday.
Danielle did not waste any time in emphasizing the impact the Boston Bruins made on her. When she was hired as the Boston Bruins' new player development and scouting assistant last season, she made history. She worked closely with players both on and off the ice.
Beginning on Friday, teams have until September 10 to sign three players in the PWHL. The bulk of roster spots will be filled during the September 18 2023 PWHL Draft. Boston holds the third selection in the first round, and Marmer discussed her draft strategy:
«I'm a product of the mentors that I've worked for � the organizations I've been a part of,» Marmer said, per the PWHL. «Jim Montgomery of the Boston Bruins put it really well when he says that �in order to play at the highest level you have to have hockey sense and you have to have courage.' And he says the simple way of remembering that is: head and heart. That's something I want to take with me when I think about building this team. We're dealing with the highest level of talent in women's hockey. This talent pool is unbelievable so we're going to have skilled players on all six teams. So something that I'm prioritizing is that head and heart.»
In her introduction video, Marmer said she wants�to assemble a group worthy of the championship success experienced by other Boston teams. The PWHL hopes to kick off its 24-game regular season in January, and the Bruins have been outspoken in their support of Marmer and the league.
