Taylor Heise gets praise from GM

Taylor Heise was the first overall selection in the 2023 draft, so she had high expectations. She hasn't quite lived up to the hype, as there was an adjustment period to the new level of competition coming out off of college.

She said, via the Athletic:

“College and this league are very, very different. In this league, if you have the puck on your stick for more than two seconds, you’re going to have someone on you.”

Her team PWHL Minnesota's GM, Natalie Darwitz, praised her despite the seeming downtick in production:

“In this league, everybody’s so good and they’re going to have a game plan against you. I think she’s dealing with a higher caliber of that, so you’re not seeing the University of Minnesota highlight-reel goals every other night. You’re just seeing them every five nights, every six nights instead.”

While she didn't have the numbers she would have wanted, the transition wasn't that difficult. Heise helped propel her team to the first Walter Cup win. She had a terrific college career and she has already achieved the highest level of team success at the professional level as well. All that remains is to impress further with her personal accolades.
