Instead of letting a weekend of would could be stressful work and international travel get to her, the experience of her first draft invigorated Boston Blades General Manager Krista Patronick.
"It was amazing. I’m so happy with how it went," she said.
When Patronick joined the club in May, she faced a situation many other new general managers would dread, as most of last season’s Clarkson Cup winning team left for the newly formed NWHL.
"Obviously, this was going to be a rebuilding year," said Patronick. With a new general manger, a new coach and many new players, she sees this as a chance for a fresh start.
