Locally, the biggest impact was the Toronto Sceptres losing Sarah Nurse to Vancouver, which got the day’s proceedings off in lightning fashion striking first to get Minnesota defenders Sophie Jaques and Claire Thompson on its roster. The latter two are both Toronto natives while Nurse is technically a Hamiltonian — though Toronto has been claiming her for a little while now. The loss of Nurse is a big blow to the Sceptres.
