OTTAWA – In a massive move in midst of the first round of the PWHL Draft, the New York Sirens traded defender Ella Shelton to the Toronto Sceptres for the third-overall pick and a fourth-rounder in the 2025 draft on Tuesday night.
The trade comes just minutes after New York selected forward Kristýna Kaltounková with the No. 1 pick.

Shelton was New York's first-round pick in the inaugural draft in September 2023 and was named a finalist for 2024 Defender of the Year. The 27-year-old led all defenders in goals this season and is entering the final year of her three-year contract in 2025-26. She'll add immediate depth to the Sceptres blue line that lost rookie Megan Carter in the expansion draft.
