Recruiting Class: Golden Knights Bring Double Digit Recruiting Class
The Clarkson Golden Knights have 11 new recruits joining their program this season as rookies. It's a large class that will be partially tasked with replacing top outgoing talent. The school saw Haley Winn (2nd overall), Nicole Gosling (4th overall), and Anne Cherkowski (9th overall) all picked early in the PWHL Draft. Forward Jenna Goodwin signed with Frolunda in the SDHL, while Sidney Fess and Bailey Kirwan graduated. The school did bring in Reese Logan through the transfer portal, and also added standout goaltender Arianne Leblanc, a former member of Canada's U-18 national team, from Concordia University in Canada. Their rookies however, pack power and depth. Here's a look at the Clarkson women's hockey recruiting class for 2025-26. Manon le Scodan, F, John Abbott College Already 20, Manon le Scodan brings veteran experience and maturity as a rookie. She's been a prolific scorer in Quebec recording 113 points in her last 57 games with John Abbott College. She's also represented France at four World Championships, and will suit up for the French next year at the 2026 Olympics. Sara Manness, F, Burlington Barracudas One of the most gifted and intelligent teenage players in Canada, Sara Manness has star potential in the NCAA and is alead on a pro trajectory. The Winnipeg product moved to Ontario to play in the OWHL with the Burlington Barracudas the last two seasons scoring 69 goals and 153 points in only 68 games. She also won gold and silver as a member of Canada's U-18 national team, leading the 2025 tournament in assists. Aneta Šenková, G, Kingston Ice Wolves Clarkson will get international support for Šenková as she's a legitimate contender to someday take over Czechia's national team crease. She was named Best Goaltender at the 2024 U-18 World Championships helping Czechia win silver. After playing boys' hockey until 2024, Šenková moved to Canada last season posting a .924 save percentage in 25 games in the OWHL with Kingston. Kate Manness, D, Burlington Barracudas A talented two-way defender who happens to be Sara's older sister, Kate Manness evolved into one of the better offensive blueliners in the OWHL the last two seasons and won a told medal with Canada's U-18 national team. She makes good decisions with the puck, and enters Clarkson's factory of producing elite defenders. Other recruits: Layla Matthew, Paige Wallace, Morgan Walton, Jaela Carter, Kaitlyn Mallette, Sidney Ullmann, Gabrielle Lalonde.
