Kaleigh Fratkin

Previous to the joining the NWHL, she won the Clarkson Cup in 2015 and was the first girl to play boys' midget AAA hockey in British Columbia.[4] After the end of the 2014-15 CWHL season, despite having just won the Clarkson Cup, Fratkin was cut from the Canadian national team development squad.The blow of the announcement, combined with the financial insecurity that came with playing as a non-national team player in the CWHL, originally pushed her into considering retirement.[11][12] She was named to the NWHL All-Star Game for the second year in a row, however, her production dropped significantly during the season, receiving much more limited power-play time and occasionally even being used as a third-line forward by Riveters head coach Chad Wiseman.[17] She would stay with the team for both the 2021-22 and 2022-23 seasons in the newly-renamed Premier Hockey Federation (PHF), being named an all-star in both and collecting her second Isobel Cup in 2022.[21] Fratkin represented Canada at the 2009 IIHF World Women's U18 Championship, scoring four points in five games as the country won silver.[22][23] One of eight original NWHLers still active in the league and a fixture on the top defensive pairing for the Boston Pride, Fratkin has been most often been described as an offensive defender with elite playmaking skills.[34] Fratkin got engaged to her longtime boyfriend Henry Lee, former Boston University Terriers men's lacrosse player, on January 15, 2021.
