2025 PWHL Draft Profile: Anna Segedi
Anna Segedi is a highly skilled offensive center for St. Lawrence University. The 24-year-old is an elite skater and puck handler who utilizes her agility to avoid checkers and find open ice.
Segedi comes to the PWHL with a diverse set of experiences having twice represented China at the World Championships, and also playing for the nation at the 2022 Olympics.
Her numbers in the NCAA this season took a bit of a dip following to 24 points in 39 games, but placing the slick skating Segedi onto a line with other highly skilled players should see her numbers from the NCAA less impacted than others in the pro ranks.
Segedi was a Third Team ECAC All-Star this season.
She was strong on face-offs winning 58% of draws overall, including as one of the top draft eligible players on defensive zone draws this season.
With the puck on her stick, Segedi is a possession player who was top 20 in draft eligible players in controlled zone entries per game. She also was top 20 in pre shot passes meaning her passes more often penetrated directly to scoring areas resulting in scoring chances.
As a playmaker, Segedi keeps her body open to plays using heel to heel skating to both protect the puck and ensure she can distribute in all directions. She sees the ice well and puts pucks into soft zones and open ice allowing her teammates to skate into possession.
Where Segedi will need to adapt in the PWHL is to the physicality and getting herself to the middle of the ice more often rather than shooting from the periphery. Her skating and puck handling are her biggest assets that should benefit her well in darting in and out of high traffic areas despite her slight frame.
