The New York Riveters will face a tough test in their first regular season game of the 2016-17 season: the defending Isobel Cup Champion Boston Pride.
The Riveters are billed as the road team for tonight’s season opener, but the game is being played in Buffalo, New York. The Pride opened their season against the Beauts last night, so the Riveters should have some fresher legs.
Riveters’ Roster:
Forwards
Kessel, Rafter, Ketchum, Russo, D’Oench, Packer, Gruschow, Fritz-Ward, Weber
Defenders
Fratkin, Picard, Johnston, Dosdall, Burke, McMillen
Goaltenders
Sojung Shin | Katie Fitzgerald
The Riveters practice squad players are Taylor Holze, Gabie Figueroa, Julia “Cheeky” Herr, and Rebecca Morse.
