November 22nd, 2016 The New York Riveters had been through a lot this past week, as had all of the players in the NWHL when the news broke that the second-year league would be forcing a pay cut in order to keep from folding.

Q & A with Kaleigh Fratkin of the Connecticut Whale
January 30th, 2016 Kaleigh Fratkin has been on successful hockey teams her whole life, so it’s no surprise that she's been a key contributor on the NWHL-leading Connecticut Whale (11-2-0) with 17 points (5g-12a); what might be a surprise is that she is doing it from the blue line and that her point total is currently good for third in the entire league....
