The summer is always a busy time for women’s college hockey prospects entering their junior years of high school.

There are several key dates to circle on the calendar.

The first, and biggest, is June 15. That’s when Division 1 women’s college hockey coaches can begin reaching out to rising juniors and their families. Coaches also can start making verbal scholarship offers.

Next is Aug. 1. Then, recruits can begin scheduling unofficial and official visits to campus to meet with coaches.

As with previous seasons, plenty of high-end players around the region look to be Division 1 prospects, already in the thick of the recruiting process.

Players in the class of 2027 recently became eligible to commit.

Here are 18 who have yet to commit, to keep an eye on during this recruiting cycle. They’re listed alphabetically.
