I had the privilege of attending media day and, after a few days of processing everything from Wednesday night, I thought it was time to share some of the sights, sounds, and emotions from the Riveters' historic first practice.
Some two hours after a pair of press conferences on Wednesday night a very significant event happened at Aviator Sports & Events Center - the New York Riveters took to the ice as a team for the first time. During the players' press conference it was clear that the opportunity to play in the NWHL meant everything to these women and that they could think of little more than finally getting to step out onto the ice as a team.
