The New York Riveters just made their own version of a “deadline move” late in the regular season. Today Chad Wiseman signed the top pick of the 2016 NWHL Draft. Kelsey Koelzer, the outstanding defender from Princeton, will practice with the Riveters tonight after signing a contract to play with the Riveters for the remainder of the 2016-17 season and the 2017 Playoffs.
From the league’s official press release:
“Being part of the NWHL was a priority for me because I want to take my development from four years at Princeton and utilize it playing with and against some of the best women’s hockey players in the world,” said Koelzer.
