The draft will take place June 10 at 7 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. CT at the Roy Wilkins Auditorium, while the awards will take place the following day at 1:30 p.m. ET / 12:30 p.m. CT at the InterContinental Saint Paul Riverfront Hotel. 



While this is the second PWHL Draft, with the first taking place last September, this will be the first-ever PWHL Awards show. Last month, <a href="https://www.dailyfaceoff.com/news/pwhl-names-mvp-playoff-mvp-awards-after-co-founders-billie-jean-king-ilana-kloss">the league announced</a> the names of its regular-season and playoff Most Valuable Player awards, naming the regular-season award the Billie Jean King MVP Award, and its playoff one the Ilana Kloss Playoff MVP Award.<div class="injected-ad injected-video" data-nn-ad-tech-injection-count="0" data-nn-ad-tech-max-gap="130" data-nn-ad-tech-current-gap="188"></div>



“It is only fitting that the league’s most valuable players will be recognized with awards that reflect the leadership of Billie Jean King and Ilana Kloss,” senior vice president of hockey operations, Jayna Hefford, said in a release. “To have these awards named in their honour advances the sports legacy of these pioneers, who have devoted themselves to women’s equal rights in sports.”



In recent days, the league has announced a number of finalists for the awards.
