Rhianna Kurio and Emma Rambo are hoping their playing days aren't over with just yet.
The two recent graduates have entered the Canadian Women's Hockey League draft, slated to be held Aug. 26. The CWHL is a five-team professional league, with teams in Boston, Montreal, Toronto, Alberta and Brampton, Ontario. The league was founded in 2007.
Kurio, 21, accumulated 27 points (13 goals, 14 assists) in 136 career contests. The Calgary, Alberta native never missed a game, and finished tied with Dania Simmonds for the most games played in program history.
Rambo, 22, piled up 14 points (seven goals, seven assists) in 135 career games played. In her four years at Union, the Joliet, Illinois native missed only one game, a 4-0 loss at Quinnipiac on Feb. 12, 2011. Her 135 games played are second most in program history.
If Kurio and Rambo crack the CWHL, they could see a couple familiar faces.
Former Dutchwomen assistant coach Julie Chu, who resigned earlier this year to focus on training for the 2014 Winter Olympics, plays for the Montreal Stars. Simmonds, a 2012 graduate, suits up for the Brampton Thunder.
