    Key Additions: Amanda Kessel, Kristen Lewicki, and Lexi Slattery

     

    Top Questions Facing the Riveters:

    1. Can the Metropolitan Riveters repeat Isobel Cup Champions?

    The most common question asked when it concerns a four team league, but this season will be the NWHL’s first season with five teams so one can expect the dynamic can change going into this season. Can the Riveters build upon last season and with the addition of Amanda Kessel win another championship.

     

    2. What impact will Amanda Kessel have this season?

    With key players Ashley Johnston retired and Tatiana Rafter going to Russia, the Riveters were able to re-sign Amanda Kessel after not having her last season so she could play for the 2018 US Women’s Ice Hockey Olympic Team. During the 2016-17 season Kessel had 4 goal, 14 assists fot 18 points. She will be relied on to bring the offense, and wanting to prove that she is the better Kessel.

    Cydney Roesler was named assistant coach for the Whale this season, last year she was an Assistant Coach for Quinnipiac University. The defender will have two roles to play for the Whale this season.

    In NWHL news, there was a contest for the Champions Cup earlier today. This contest pitted the NWHL’s Isobel Cup champion, Metropolitan Riveters and the SDHL’s Luleå Hockey. The Champions Cup weighs 25 pounds and is gold and silver to represent the founding leagues of the NWHL and SDHL. The cup is engraved with “Champions Cup” in eight different languages.

    In this contest, Luleå Hockey defeated the Metropolitan Riveters at Hobey Baker Rink by the score of 4-2. Noora Tulus scored late which ended up being the difference maker in the game.

    Luleå’s Michelle Karvinen scored the first goal of the contest just 27 seconds into what was a penalty-filled second period. This lead for Luleå would be erased at the 14:16 mark of the second period with a goal by Riveters forward Kelly Nash, who is also the assistant coach at Princeton. This goal was the product of a deflected shot off of Alexa Gruschow.

    There were eight penalties that occurred during the second period but the penalty issues would continue for Luleå going into the third. With two players in the penalty box, Karvinen finished on a 2-on-1 shorthanded rush by putting the puck behind the 2018 Isobel Cup MVP Katie Fitzgerald to regain a one-goal lead. 51 seconds later, the Riveters would tie the game again at 2 with a goal from Riveters newcomer Kristin Lewicki.

    Noora Tulus would score at 12:05 in the second to give Luleå the lead for good at 3-2. Emma Nordin would score an empty-net goal with seconds left in the game to seal the 4-2 win for Luleå.

    Michelle Karvinen was later named the MVP of the Champions Cup. For the Riveters, this marked Shelley Picard’s first as the captain. Kristin Lewicki, Alexa Aramburu, Lexi Slattery, Audra Richards, Chelsea Ziadie, and Fiona McKenna also all donned the Riveters red for the first time.

    The Riveters have only one week to begin the defense of their Isobel Cup championship following this contest. The Riveters open the season with games against the NWHL’s newest franchise, the Minnesota Whitecaps, October 6 and 7 at TRIA Rink.

     

    In other news, CSA Shows made an announcement yesterday about the Washington Capitals with one of their upcoming events.

  • NWHL 2018-19 Buffalo Beauts Preview

    BUF

     

    Last Season: 12-4-0  24pts  (2nd in the NWHL, Lost in the Isobel Cup Championship to the Metropolitan Riveters)

     

    Goals Leader: Hayley Scamurra – 7 goals

    Assists Leader: Taylor Accursi – 10 assists

    Points Leader: Kourtney Kunichika/Scamurra/Maddie Elia – 14 points

    +/- Leader: Kristin Lewicki – +5

     

    Key Departures: Amanda Leveille

     

    Key Additions: Shannon Szabados, Emily Janiga, Emily Pfalzer, Kelly Babstock, and Blake Bolden

     

    Top Questions Facing the Beauts:

    1. How will the Buffalo Beauts manage Shannon Szabados playing time?

    The biggest offseason pickup by any team was the Beauts signing Canadian Women’s Ice Hockey Superstar Shannon Szabados. However, at the same time they signed US Women’s Ice Hockey gold medalist Nicole Hensley, so one has to wonder how the coaching staff in Buffalo are going to utilize both Hensley and Szabados. Both are high caliber goalies who have won a combined 3 Olympic gold medals between them.

     

    2. How will the Beauts gel this season with all of the new faces?

    This season the Beauts will be looking to make it to the Isobel Cup Finals for a fourth straight season, and this time they will be doing it with half of the team being brand new, or returning after missing last season to play in the Olympics. Both the returning players, and the new players will be looking to build a dynamic team chemistry that will help them win their 2nd Isobel Cup in three years.

     

    Special Thanks to Nathaniel A. Oliver of The Hockey Writers for his help.

  • NWHL 2018-19 Boston Pride Preview

    BOS

     

    Last Season: 4-8-4  12pts  (3rd in the NWHL, eliminated by the Buffalo Beauts in the Semi Finals)

     

    Goal Leader: Jillian Dempsey – 7 goals

    Assist Leader: Jillian Dempsey – 8 assists

    Points Leader: Jillian Dempsey – 15 points

    +/- Leader: Alyssa Gagliardi – +3

     

    Key Departures: None

     

    Key Additions: Amanda Pelkey, Gigi Marvin, Haley Skarupa*, and Paul Mara (Coach)

    *Skarupa started last season with the Pride, but left to join the 2018 US Women’s Ice Hockey Olympic Team.

     

    Top Questions Facing the Pride:

    1. Can the Boston Pride rebound to Championship form?

    Last season was a step back for the Boston Pride as they entered the season missing a good portion of their roster as they went to play for the US Women’s Ice Hockey Olympic Team. As a result the Pride would suffer the most as a result. This season the Pride get back Rockville, MD native Haley Skarupa, and defender Gigi Marvin from the US Women’s team which will give the Pride a boost to their team. This season the Pride will be looking to get back to their Championship ways.

     

    2. How will all of the other new pieces fit into the Pride’s equation?

    Last season Jillian Dempsey lead the team in every scoring category, but it was evident she couldn’t do it all on her own. This season she gets back Skarupa, plus the addition of players like Amanda Pelkey and McKenna Brand, the Pride are hopeful that they helped with getting some scoring depth.
