The Boston Blades are coming back for the 2016-17 season.
In a post on the team's Instagram account, General Manager Krista Patronick confirmed the team's return, saying that they've "begun the process of looking to improve our organization for next season."
After a difficult off-season gutted the 2015 Clarkson Cup winning team, it was uncertain how the team would bounce back this year. The Blades got a new coach, a new GM and 20 new players on their 25 skater roster. Though there were uncertain expectations of the team this year, it's doubtful that many expected the team to have just one win to this point in the season.
