WEST ORANGE, NJ (November 14, 2025) – The New York Sirens skated to a 6-2 victory over the Minnesota Frost on Friday afternoon at Codey Arena to split the two preseason scrimmages against the defending Professional Women’s Hockey League (PWHL) champions. Sarah Fillier, the 2024-25 Rookie of the Year and co-scoring leader, tallied a natural hat trick in the third period and also contributed an assist to lead the Sirens offense. New York’s 2025 third overall pick, Casey O’Brien, produced three assists, while second-round pick Anne Cherkowski and draft day trade acquisition Kristin O’Neill each scored a goal and an assist. Elle Hartje also found the back of the net in New York’s victory. The Frost were led by goals from defender Lee Stecklein and 2025 second-round pick Abby Hustler, with forward Taylor Heise collecting two assists. Kayle Osborne picked up the Sirens win in goal with 25 saves. Maddie Rooney got the start for Minnesota and stopped 17/20 shots in the first two periods and Marlène Boissonnault turned aside 10/13 in the final frame. Today’s scrimmage featured 17 players who are taking part in their first PWHL Training Camp, including 10 for the Frost and seven for the Sirens. Final rosters for both teams will be submitted to the league next Wednesday, with regular season puck drop slated for Friday.
