2025 PWHL Draft Profile: Maya Labad
Maya Labad is a prospect for the 2025 PWHL Draft. The left wing spent the past four seasons playing NCAA hockey at Quinnipiac.
Labad likes to take the puck to the middle of the ice and isn't afraid to get herself to the net. She has a good shot and tracks loose pucks well in the offensive zone.
After four consistent years at Quinnipiac, Labad is excited for the opportunity the PWHL has created in women's hockey.
"The PWHL is an exciting and important step forward for women's hockey, giving top players a professional league to compete in," Labad told The Hockey News. "Having the chance to play in it would be an incredible and rewarding opportunity to pursue what I love to do at the highest level."
Off the puck, Labad is a hard worker who can be tough on the forecheck. She is a good skater who can keep pace at the next level.
Last season Labad recorded 15 goals and 27 points in 38 games for Quinnipiac. She also represented Canada's national development team at the Six Nations Tournament.
Prior to the NCAA, Labad won silver as a member of Canada's U-18 national team at the 2020 U-18 women's World Championships.
