I was fortunate enough to ask star goaltender Nana Fujimoto of Smile Japan and the New York Riveters a few questions as the NWHL's inaugural season approaches.
In the offseason leading up to the NWHL's inaugural season there were few headlines bigger than the Riveters' signing of Nana Fujimoto, the star goaltender from Smile Japan. Prior to joining the Riveters, Fujimoto played her club hockey with Vortex Sapporo. Fujimoto, who is just 26 years old, was a standout at the NWHL's International Camp that spanned from July 23rd to July 26th which was held in Massachusetts.
