The New York Riveters were not a successful hockey team last year. One of the primary reasons was their struggle to establish any kind of forecheck and play aggressively in the opponent’s end of the ice.
While this was in part due to the makeup of the roster, head coach Chad Wiseman did his team no favors with his chip and chase style. There was an onus this offseason for the new Riveters general manager to go out and get his coach (the man he sees in the mirror) the talent he needed to compete with the rest of the NWHL.
