NWHL: Interview with Celeste Brown of the New York Riveters

Each of the NWHL's first 72 paid professional hockey players had a unique road on their way to being a part of history. Celeste Brown of the New York Riveters is no exception, she is the only player in either the NWHL or the NHL to be born in Montana, a state with a population of a little over a million people. After a decorated collegiate hockey career at the Rochester Institute of Technology Brown finds herself playing professional hockey in a city with a population of nearly eight and a half million people and in a borough with a little under three million people.
