PWHL 2025 Walter Cup Finals - Kaitlyn O'Donohoe

Each team in the PWHL employs 3 reserves per team. These 3 women are literally the backstop for each team when injuries or illness happen and are VITAL to what every team needs to have with them. Kaitlyn’s journey to the PWHL was anything but easy, but she made it happen.

She was not drafted and went to the SDHL in the fall of 2025 with Brynäs and played 14 games. She had received a training camp invite to Minnesota and at the end of camp was placed on waivers. But fate had another place for her as another player declined a spot as a reserve player and she was able to come back to the Frost. During the season, she got called up within the first few weeks and ended up being up with the club for 9 games before returning as a reserve through the playoffs.

Every day you practice with the team and you are ready. Good luck in the Walter Cup Finals Kaitlyn.
