Former Union women's hockey forward Rhianna Kurio was drafted by the Alberta Honeybadgers in the 12th round of Monday's Canadian Women's Hockey League draft.

Kurio, 21, wrapped up a four-year career with the Dutchwomen earlier this year. In 136 career games played, she picked up 27 points (13 goals, 14 assists). The Calgary, Alberta native is tied with Dania Simmonds for the most games played in program history.

The five-team CWHL is the world's premier women's hockey league. In addition to Alberta, the league also has teams in Boston, Montreal, Toronto, and Brampton (Ontario). It was founded in 2007.
