Beauts Relieve Coaching Staff, McCormick is Interim
December 8th, 2018 On the eve of their first home game in nearly two months, the Buffalo Beauts announced rather shockingly that both head coach Ric Seiling and assistant coach Craig Muni had been relieved of their duties. In the interim, former Buffalo Sabres forward Cody McCormick will be...
Alexa Aramburu’s Incredible Journey
December 2nd, 2018 This season Alexa Aramburu is one of two players (Rebecca Morse) on the Metropolitan Riveters from the state of New Jersey, but it wasn’t exactly a dream of hers growing up to play for a pro team in her home state. The 23-year-old from Glen Rock dreamed of playing in...
Sass & Richards Lead Riveters to First Home Win
November 26th, 2018 In her first start of the season for the Metropolitan Riveters, Kimberly Sass made 33 saves and then stopped all three Connecticut Whale shooters during the shootout to secure her team’s first home win of the season. The Rivs won 4-3 but had to rally from a 3-2 deficit...

Thunstrom Bringing the Lightning and Thunder for Whitecaps
October 27th, 2018 Allie Thunstrom is taking the NWHL by storm (pun intended) and with her lightning fast speed she already has four points (2g-2a) in her first four games and has fired 12 shots on goal. Her Minnesota Whitecaps have started their inaugural campaign as a pro team with a...
Julia DiTondo: No Overlooking the Beauts' Third Goalie
October 26th, 2018 Sometimes it seems odd to fathom that legendary goalie Shannon Szabados and recent USA Olympic gold medalist Nicole Hensley are each playing in their first professional seasons. The Buffalo Beauts netminders are quite conceivably the best goaltending tandem in all of...

October 23rd, 2018 The Buffalo Beauts are heading to Minnesota for their first two meetings against the Whitecaps this season. Both currently undefeated teams are set to face each other in back-to-back contests on Oct. 27 and Oct. 28 at Minnesota's TRIA Orthopedic Rink in St. Paul. But of all...
One League: Beyond the Obvious of Merging NWHL/CWHL

October 14th, 2018 The Buffalo Beauts not only won their home opener at the HarborCenter, but they did so with exclamation points in tow - seven of them, to be exact. Fans in attendance on Saturday Oct. 13, 2018 were in for a real treat, as the Beauts whitewashed the Connecticut Whale by a...
