Before we jump into my highlighted players, the photo gallery, and some quotes from some of the Riveters, I wanted to make sure to put the spotlight on a very worthy nonprofit organization that the NWHL partnered with to make yesterday's game even more special than it already was.
"For this special preseason game, the New York Riveters partnered with Friends of Firefighters (FoFF), a nonprofit organization dedicated to addressing the physical, mental health, and wellness needs of New York City's active and retired firefighters and families."
Of course the main focus of my coverage of the game is on the Riveters, but I wanted to give a stick tap to New York's Bravest for some outstanding hockey.
