The NWHL hosted their All Star festivities in Nashville, TN this past weekend. The best players from all five teams came down and showcased their talents in front of an electric Nashville crowd. The skills competition was held at the Ford Ice Center, the practice facility for the Predators; while the All Star Game itself was at the Bridgestone Arena in Downtown Nashville.
The Whale had originally sent five players down, but Meeri RÀisÀnen could not attend as she was called up to the Finnish National Team. [Congrats are in order for her!]
The four players that did go to the All Star game were Shannon Doyle, Emily Fluke, Michelle Löwenhielm, and Katerina Mråzovå.
Doyle and Mråzovå played for Team Szabados; Fluke and Löwenhielm played for Team Stecklein.

Skills Competition
Only two skills competition events were needed for the Whale players as it was Mråzovå vs Fluke in the trick shot challenge, and it was Löwenhielm vs Doyle in the hardest shot competition.
Here is some video of @Mrazka98's trick shot attempts at the skills competition. The puck wouldn't cooperate with her though. đ
At the end of the six events, it was tied at three apiece. A best two out of three shootout was required between Beauts goalie Shannon Szabados and Whitecaps defender Lee Stecklein. Szabados stopped all the attempts by Stecklein, giving Shannon Doyle and Katerina MrĂĄzovĂĄ the bragging rights so far over the weekend.
All Star Game
The All Star Game took place at Bridgestone Arena after the Blues v. Predators game, in which the St. Louis Blues proved victorious in overtime.
Also, it wouldn’t be Nashville without someone throwing a catfish on the ice that landed right by Shannon Doyle just before the opening faceoff.
The All Star game was two 25 minute halves of four on four hockey. The Whale had a really spectacular showing in Nashville. After Riveters forward Audra Richards gave Team Szabados the 1-0 lead, Whale defender Shannon Doyle had a great rush up the left side of the ice. She got to the left circle, she made a great drop pass to Katerina MrĂĄzovĂĄ, who then roofed it over Nicole Hensley’s shoulder to give Team Szabados the 2-0 lead heading into halftime.
After some halftime music by a live band at Bridgestone Arena, the second half began with Team Stecklein chasing a 2-0 lead. Team Stecklein would get a goal back when Beauts forward Lisa Chesson redirected a shot from Pride forward Gigi Marvin which found the back of the net. A few shifts would go by without a goal, but during that goalless break, we got to see some pretty spectacular defending at the blue line from Michelle Löwenhielm. Later in the half, Emily Fluke would net a five hole goal that tied the game at two. We also got to see an awesome celly between the Team Stecklein players:
At the end of the second half, the game was tied at two. Just like yesterday’s skills competition, the game would require a shootout to determine a winner. In the shootout, there would only be one goal, and it came from Riveters forward Amanda Kessel. It would give Team Szabados the victory and the sweep for the weekend!
It was a pretty historic All Star weekend, the best part about it was the attendance by the Nashville faithful. The recorded attendance was 6, 120, which set a record for largest crowd for a women’s hockey game in the United States!
Not to mention that All Star MVP and Beauts goalie Shannon Szabados talked about the amazingness of nearly ONE MILLION people that watched over the weekend!
The Whale have three games left on the season, all of them will be home games. The first game will be against the Boston Pride on February 24th at Terry Conners Rink. Puck drop for that game will be 3p EST. The game will be a Twitter Game of the Week, and you can watch that here: https://twitter.com/nwhl

Here’s how the rosters looked for the weekend:

Skills Competition
It was a full house at the Ford Ice Center for the NWHL skills competition; people gathered to watch the players have fun and show off. The first event was the fastest skater, in which Kristin Lewicki won the event last year. This year had the likes of Michelle Picard, Amanda Pelkey, Lexi Bender, and Kendall Coyne Schofield for Team Szabados; and Lisa Chesson, Jonna Curtis, Kate Schipper, and Allie Thunstrom for Team Stecklein. If anyone saw the NHL’s fastest skater competition, knows that Coyne was going to be the odds on favorite, and she delivered. Coyne was actually faster than when she did the NHL’s event, [14.3 for the NHL and 13.9 for the NWHL].
The next competition was the fastest goalies, in which Amanda Leveille returned to defend her title. All four goalies Katie Burt, Amanda Leveille, Shannon Szabados, and Nicole Hensley skated. The final showdown came in the form of a “battle of the teammates” Szabados v Hensley, and it was Nicole Hensley who claims bragging rights.
Accuracy shooting was up next, where Corinne Buie was the winner last year. The three shooters for Team Szabados were Haley Skarupa, Haley Scamurra, and Savannah Harmon and the three shooters for Team Stecklein were Hannah Brandt, Dani Cameranesi, and Emily Pfalzer. In the end, it was Dani Cameranesi who proved to be the most accurate!
Talents were on display during the next event, which was the trick shot challenge. All of the skaters have great hands and great creative minds. For Team Szabados it was Amanda Kessel, Madison Packer, and Katerina MrĂĄzovĂĄ and for Team Stecklein it was Gigi Marvin, Emily Fluke, and Jillian Dempsey. In this particular event, the fans got to vote for the winner of the competition. The event had everything, from Amanda Kessel doing the Flying V from the Mighty Ducks, to Madison Packer with a smooth spin-o-rama attempt that almost scored, to Emily Fluke throwing a cowboy hat, and having her second shot saved by Katie Burt with her back toward her.
Emily Flukeâs trick shot attempt had a little bit of everything â cowboy hats, backwards goalies… pic.twitter.com/iWEfoDrfrb
In the end it was Team Stecklein who won over the fans and getting their vote.
Up next was the hardest shot competition with players who can really bring the heat on their slapshots. Last years winner of the event was Kelsey Koezler, and the players looking to take the title were, for Team Szabados were Shannon Doyle, Amanda Boulier, Audra Richards, and Blake Bolden; and for Team Stecklein were Michelle Löwenhielm, Alyssa Gagliardi, Courtney Burke, and the captain Lee Stecklein. There were a lot of really hard shots, but Blake Bolden won with her shot reaching 80 mph!
The last event was a go for goal shootout relay in which all the skaters for Team Szabados and Team Stecklein took shootout attempts, and the team with the most goals was declared the winner. After some pretty nifty attempts, it was Team Stecklein who won the event.
This meant at the end of all competitions, both teams were tied at three wins a piece. It meant that to settle it in a tiebreaker, it was captain vs captain in a best two out of three shootout attempts. Szabados made all the saves and her team won the Skills Competition!
Looked like it was tied at the end of all competitions, we went to a shootout captain vs captain. Team Szabados with the win!!#NWHLAllStar#NWHL

All Star Game
The All Star Game took place at Bridgestone Arena after the Blues v. Predators game, in which the St. Louis Blues proved victorious in overtime.
It wouldn’t be Nashville without someone throwing a catfish on the ice that landed right by Shannon Doyle just before the opening faceoff.
Both teams skated to two 25 minute halves of four on four hockey. In the first half, Team Szabados jumped out to the lead, the goal coming from the Riveters rookie forward Audra Richards. Richards, who has eight goals on the year continues her scoring prowess by getting the opening marker. Later in the half, Shannon Doyle led the rush and made a nice drop pass on top of the circle, and it fell on the stick of leading Connecticut Whale scorer Katerina MrĂĄzovĂĄ, who roofed the shot over Nicole Hensley. The goal gave Team Szabados a 2-0 lead heading into halftime.
The second half had a lot of good back and forth action and then Gigi Marvin took a shot from the point which got redirected by Lisa Chesson and it found the net beating Katie Burt. The goal cut the Team Szabados lead in half. Later in the half, the game would be tied at two as Whale captain Emily Fluke netting a five hole goal!
Both goalies [Leveille and Burt] made really incredible saves and at the end of the second half, the score was tied at two. The game moved into a shootout in which Amanda Kessel was the first shooter and she beat Leveille five hole. Then Katie Burt stopped all three Team Stecklein attempts, giving the victory to Team Szabados!
The best part about the All Star Game weekend was the attendance by the Nashville faithful. The recorded attendance was 6, 120, which set a record for largest crowd for a women’s hockey game in the United States!

The Boston Bruins would take on the Washington Capitals and would come away with the 1-0 win. The Washington Capitals have a record of 2-6-2 in their last ten games.
There would be four different scorers for the Montreal Canadiens in this contest against the Edmonton Oilers and would win this contest 4-3 in the overtime frame.
Four different goal scorers would help the Calgary flames defeat the the Carolina Hurricanes with a 4-3 win over the Carolina Hurricanes in Raleigh, North Carolina yesterday afternoon.
The Buffalo Beauts faced off against the Metropolitan Riveters in the NWHL Twitter Game of the Week and would come away with the 3-2 win to notch their fifth straight win. With the win, the Buffalo Beauts moved to a record of 9-4-0 on the season.
This would be the first game for the Beauts at RWJBarnabas Health Hockey House since the Isobel Cup final last season, when they would fall to the Riveters 1-0.
Both teamsâ top lines were held at bay throughout the contest as the Beauts got goals from Taylor Accursi, Julianna Iafallo and Savannah Harmon.
For the Rivetersâ, their third line produced with Rebecca Morse and Kristin Lewicki each scoring their first goals of the season with Alexa Aramburu picking up the assists on both of the goals.
The Beauts will next have NWHL action against the Metropolitan Riveters on February 23rd.
The Whale’s next NWHL contest will be on Sunday, February 24th against the Boston Pride.
RECAP: @TheBostonPride pick up a 3-1 win over the @CTWhale_NWHL in front of another sold-out crowd!
The Boston Pride would face off against the Connecticut Whale and would come away with the 3-1 win. The Boston Pride are now 9-4-0 on the season, tied with the Buffalo Beauts for the same mark.  With the loss, the Whale are now 2-9-2 on the season.
For the Pride, Jillian Dempsey and Denisa Krizova would both have a goal and assist in this contest. Dempsey leads all Boston Pride skaters with nine goals on the season and is second in the league.
Boston would get on the board just 1:20 into the game with Krizova scoring the goal.
Connecticut’s Rachael Ade would score to tie the game 1-1 with 55 seconds left in the first period. That would be Ade’s first career NWHL goal.
Dempsey would score her ninth goal of the season with her goal less than two minutes into the second period. Throughout most of the third period, the Whale would spend this time on the penalty kill. Toni Ann Milano would take advantage of a good rebound of the puck, sealing the 3-1 win for the Boston Pride.
For a full breakdown of the contest, TXHT’s Chris Vasilas has your recap at the following page.
Here is my recap of tonight's #Whale game against the #Pride.
Next weekend will be the #NWHLAllStarGame in Nashville, TN. I WILL BE THERE, COME SAY HI!!
The NWHL All-Star Game will commence next weekend in Nashville, Tennessee with the resumption of the NWHL schedule on Monday, February 18th, with the Boston Pride taking on the Metropolitan Riveters in a make-up contest that was postponed due to inclement weather.
With this win by the Flyers, they have now won seven games in a row and eight out of their last ten games.
The @NHLFlyers extended their win streak to seven games (7-0-0) dating to Jan. 14, the longest such streak since 2016-17 (10-0-0 from Nov. 27 â Dec. 14, 2016). #NHLStatspic.twitter.com/KNywo7JjJo
Discipline & the ensuing shorthanded efforts were the #Oilers undoing on Saturday as they dominated the Flyers 5-on-5 but surrendered four on the PK, resulting in a 5-4 OT defeat. https://t.co/C1RRLbdwP2
The New Jersey Devils would go on to defeat the Montreal Canadiens in overtime thanks to two goals by Nico Hischier, including the game-winner in the overtime frame.
The New York Islanders would go on to double up the Los Angeles Kings with a 4-2 win. Ryan Pulock would go on to have a three assist night, notching all three assists in the third period.
The Dallas Stars would go on to win their fourth straight contest with the 3-1 win over the Nashville Predators last night.
The Stars stayed with the Predators all night due to strong defense and goaltending and in the final minutes, the offense came through to give the Stars four straight wins. #GoStarspic.twitter.com/Nm4MSC77Ni
FUN FACT: Brent Burns scored his 13th career OT goal tonight, which is tied for most by a defenseman in NHL history (Scott Niedermayer). pic.twitter.com/TIbcg26LY0
The Connecticut Whale squared off against the Boston Pride on Groundhogâs Day tonight at the Warrior Ice Arena. The Whale played a solid game, but unfortunately fell short against the Pride; dropping this game 3-1. This also pushes the Whale losing streak to seven games.
News and Notes
The Whale had some signings to announce before this game. As suspected, Colleen Murphy will join the Whale for the rest of the season to bring some stability on the back line.
In the first period, the Boston Pride got off to a great start; getting a goal about a minute and twenty seconds into the game. The goal was scored by Denisa Krizova, giving the Pride the momentum from the start and establishing a good fore-check.
Before the end of the first period, it looked like the Whale were going to be down a goal heading into intermission, Rachael Ade took a shot on the left side of the half boards and it beat Katie Burt to tie the game at one all.
The goal for Ade is her first NWHL goal, and her first on the season!
Our girl @RachSevenAde makes her first NWHL goal a great one to tie up the game as the first period comes to the end! Congrats Rachael! đž: Bryan Johnson pic.twitter.com/iwZaxcLhhs
The Boston Pride came out flying again in the second period, and about two minutes into the second period, Jillian Dempsey cleaned up a rebound in the slot, shooting it past Lundberg. The goal was the ninth of the year for Dempsey.
After the goal, there was good back and forth action between the two teams, however the defenses played a little tighter and the goalies were coming up large with some great saves.
3rd Period
The action in the first half of the third period was a lot like the end of the second. There was great back and forth action, and great saves by Burt and Lundberg.
In the second half of the third period, at the nine minute mark, Shannon Doyle got called for a hooking penalty. It knocked Denisa Krizova out of the game for a little bit of time. On the ensuing power play, Toni Ann Miano scooped up a rebound to get the Pride an insurance marker.
After the power play goal, Rachael Ade took a hooking call, sending the Pride back to the power play. Before the puck fell, obviously upset with the call, the referees escorted Emily Fluke to the box. After a brief stint in the box, and still before the puck dropped, the refs then escorted Emily Fluke off the ice. Officially on the boxscore, they gave Fluke a ten minute unsportsmanlike conduct misconduct, with zero minutes. Meaning that the Whale would not be five on three.
After that bit of craziness, the Pride played lock down on defense and kept the Whale shots to a minimum and gave them no significant offensive chances. Katie Burt sealed the deal for a Pride win, making 25 saves on 26 shots.
Shenae Lundberg: She played really solid on her debut. Making 22 saves on 25 shots, as she was really in the zone.
Rachael Ade: Scoring the lone goal for the Whale tonight, she had a beautiful shot on the half boards to tie the game at one before the end of the first period. It is also her first NWHL goal!
Shannon Doyle: She got the assist on the Rachael Ade goal, giving her six points on the year. She currently has a four game point streak, heading into the All Star Break.
The next game that the Whale play will be on February 24th as they look to exact some revenge against the Boston Pride in Stamford, CT.
Next weekend is the NWHL All Star Game in Nashville, TN. Where Shannon Doyle, Emily Fluke, Michelle Löwenhielm, and Katerina Mråzovå will be participating.

In the first contest of the day, the Anaheim Ducks took on the New Jersey Devils in the NHL European Game of the Week. The Ducks, after getting their first win after losing twelve straight contests on Thursday night, would defeat New Jersey by the score of 3-2.
The Colorado Avalanche took on the Los Angeles Kings and would soundly defeat the Kings thanks to six goals in the second period and would go on to win this contest by the score of 7-1.
This would also be a heavily-filled penalty contest for the Kings, who amassed eight penalties in the contest. Five of the eight penalties would come in the third period alone.
Tampa Bay’s Steven Stamkos would go on to have a two goal, one assist performance and help the Lightning defeat the San Jose Sharks by the score of 6-3.
San Jose Sharks Evander Kane would also have a two goal performance and Marcus Sorensen would become the eighth player for the Sharks this season to have at least ten goals.
St. Louis Blues goaltender Jordan Binnington would become the sixth different goaltender in Blues history to have at least a point in at least their first five contests.
Jordan Binnington (4-0-1) became the 6th goaltender in Blues franchise history to earn at least a point in each of their first five or more decisions. The others:
The Dallas Stars would take on the Winnipeg Jets and double up the Jets 4-2.
In this contest for Dallas, there would be four different goal scorers in the contest.
The Stars get a strong start and they don't let up as Dallas heads into the bye week with a 4-2 win over the Jets. Check out the highlights from last night. pic.twitter.com/xgkrqhDGDz
Edmonton’s Jesse Puljujarvi would notch two assists, with Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and Milan Lucic notching the only two goals for the Oilers in this contest.
"We hung in there for a while… but you're not going to beat a team like that playing half the game." #Oilers run into red-hot Flames squad & fall 5-2. https://t.co/dCD6RNItyD
Vegas Golden Knights Jonathan Marchessault became the second different player to record hat tricks for the franchise. Marchessault joins William Karlsson, who has two hat tricks with the franchise.
Crosby: "It's tough to have to climb back a couple times like that. You're not putting yourself in a great situation to win. We made some mistakes – most of them early in the 1st period."
The game was scoreless until toward the end of the second period when Allie Thunstrom scored her third goal on the season. The goals were assisted by  Brooke White-Lancette and  Chelsey Brodt Rosenthal.Â
Minnesota’s second goal was scored by Hannah Brandt, her fifth on the season. Brandt’s goal would be assisted by Amy Menke and Kendall Coyne Shofield.
Connecticut Whale goaltender Meeri RÀisÀnen would go on to have a 29 save performance in the contest and would have more phenomenal saves throughout the contest.
This contest ended up being the Whitecaps “You Can Play” game in which all Whitecaps players donned jersey with rainbow numbers and accents. The You Can Play Project is an initiative that emphasizes equality and respect in sport, particularly for LGBTQ+ individuals.
Today there is only one contest in the NWHL. The Minnesota Whitecaps will be hosting their last home game of the regular season. The game will be available to watch on NWHL.zone/watch
The Minnesota Whitecaps and Connecticut Whale will get to face each other two times this weekend. The first game will be on Saturday January 19th at 630p CST and Sunday January 20th at 2p CST. Both games will be in Minnesota at Tria Rink.
News and Notes
Earlier in the week, there was some roster moves the Whale had made. Erica Ayala broke the news about back up Whale goaltender and Annapolis, MD native Sam Walther no longer being with the team.
Â
More #NWHL news:
Have heard and confirmed through multiple sources that Sam Walther is no longer with the Connecticut Whale.
This leaves the Whale with only two goalies on their roster.
Also, Mike Murphy, reported that the Whale had released two more forwards, Randi Griffin (a 2018 Olympian for the Unified South Korean team), and Sam Donovan (a 2017 NWHL 1st Round Draft Pick, 5th Overall).
Â
Have confirmed that Sam Donovan and Randi Griffin have both been released from the @CTWhale_NWHL. Donovan was released recently. Griffin didn’t report to the team. So the Whale have a lot of flexibility with their roster if they want to add more players. #NWHL
Murphy went on to report that the Whale did indeed also sign a goalie to replace Sam Walther, a familiar face, goalie coach and former Whale player Laura Brennan. She even dressed as RĂ€isĂ€nenâs backup in the last game on January 13th against the Whitecaps.
Â
Just confirmed that Laura Brennan (@laurayobrennan) has signed with the @CTWhale_NWHL while keeping her title as goaltender coach. With Brennan signed, the Whale once again have three goaltenders on their roster. She dressed as CTW’s backup last Sunday against the Whitecaps.
Last game was rough sledding for the Whale against the Whitecaps; they lost that game 4-1. Goals for the Whitecaps came from Jonna Curtis, Hanna Brandt, former Whale defender Amanda Boulier, and Amy Menke. The Whale were able to convert once against the Whitecaps, the goal coming from Michelle Löwenhielm, it was her second on the season.
The Whale will look to bounce back this weekend. They have proven that they can skate with the Whitecaps team, but need to find a way to convert the offensive chances they have been getting.
Whitecaps: Amanda Boulier, D â The former Whale defender played really well against her old club tallying a goal and two assists, as she looks to build off that performance with a strong showing over the weekend.
Whale: Michelle Löwenhielm, F â The Whale forward has had a good year this season, as she is tied for third on the team with five points. She currently has two goals in her last three games, and sheâs been playing on the top line with Fluke and MrĂĄzovĂĄ, so she is getting good offensive chances.
