Abigail Boreen

[2] Her status as WCHA All-Academic in her fifth year was earned while Boreen was enrolled in pharmacy school as a graduate student.

[4] Following her fifth and final year with the Golden Gophers ice hockey team, Boreen initially planned to put her pharmacy education on hold, signing a one-year contract with the Minnesota Whitecaps of the Premier Hockey Federation (PHF).

[7] On January 24, 2024, when PWHL Minnesota placed Amanda Leveille on long term injured reserve, the team signed Boreen to a 10-day Standard Player Agreement (SPA), one of two such contracts Boreen is allowed to sign during a season in which she is a full-time student.

[10] Since Boreen had only played under the 10-day SPA, she was still eligible for the 2024 PWHL draft, which was to be held on June 10, 2024.

Boreen was widely expected to be picked by PWHL Minnesota given her success with the team.
