**PWHL Boston Signs 2024 Draft Pick Daniela Pejsova**
PWHL Boston announced on Thursday that they have signed defender Daniela Pejsova to a three-year contract through the 2026-27 season.
“I’m definitely looking forward to putting on the green and white jerseys,” Pejsova said. “I’m going to do my best to represent Boston on and off the ice. I can’t wait to see what this new chapter brings.”
Boston selected Pejsova as the No. 7 overall pick in the 2024 PWHL Draft. The 21-year-old from Teplice, Czechia, previously played six seasons with Modo HC and Lulea HF, winning two championships with Lulea.
Internationally, Pejsova has won two bronze medals at the IIHF World Championship and was named the tournament’s Best Defender in 2022. She also represented Czechia at the 2022 Beijing Olympics.
Boston General Manager Danielle Marmer highlighted the excitement surrounding Pejsova, comparing her to Bruins forward David Pastrnak.

“Daniela is an explosive and dynamic defender with a competitive edge,” Marmer said. “At only 21, she’s a natural-born competitor who makes an impact every time she’s on the ice. I’m excited to see her elevate her game over the next three years in Boston and beyond.”
Pejsova is the third player from Boston’s 2024 draft class to sign with the team, joining Sydney Bard and Hannah Bilka.
Last season, Boston finished with a 12-9-3 record, placing third in the league. They swept PWHL Montreal in the first round of the Walter Cup Playoffs before losing in five games to PWHL Minnesota.
