# EPISODE 4 with KIRSTEN SIMMS

Free with YouTube's ads, posted by The PWHL.

Welcome back to Jocks Next Gen, where we break down the future stars of the PWHL and spotlight the next wave of elite talent. In this week’s episode, we dive into the top European prospects from the past week and highlight North American players who have caught our eye as we approach the end of 2025.

We’re also thrilled to be joined by Team USA standout Kirsten Simms. We sat down with the shootout specialist to discuss her game-tying goal in the 2025 NCAA Championship, what separates her as one of the top PWHL prospects, and much more.
