There are few players in the NWHL who work as hard or play as intelligently as the former captain of the Providence Friars.
It didn't take long for Beth Hanrahan of the New York Riveters to become a fan favorite both on and off the ice. On the ice Hanrahan plays with a steely resolve. Her composed, intelligent approach to the game is evident in how frequently she earns power plays for her team while earning just two minor penalties of her own through the first 15 games of the season. Despite her tremendous discipline she battles like few other players in the league and has been a hawk around the net all season long- on the prowl for loose pucks to bang home into the opposition's net.
