Q & A with Rebecca Russo of the Riveters
April 25th, 2018 Sometimes in sports, a player winds up on a team and it seems like a perfect match. That appears to be the case for Rebecca Russo and the Metropolitan Riveters. Russo is one of the faces of the NWHL as it ends the third chapter and prepares to begin a fourth, and despite ties to Connecticut (home) and Boston (school) her game and...
Metropolitan Riveters: 2018 Isobel Cup Champs
March 27th, 2018 Three years time to reach a pinnacle in hockey can feel like eons. Especially when during the first two of those three years a team has poured its heart and soul into a victory mission, only to fall short of even making the championship round. It hurts - almost to the point of having your guts bruised - and it is even more wearying if...
NY Riveters' Rebecca Russo: "Beloved By Fans"
August 12th, 2017 Every NWHL player has their own relationship with fans. This is something that the league's athletes do most well. Arguably, better than any other professional league. Signing autographs, posing for photos along the glass, hugging the little ones. The fact that the players are attainable and easy to interact with is one of the reasons...

March 9th, 2017 Among the announcements of the NWHL altering its schedule, playoff format and confirmation of season three a little over a month ago, it was also announced that Anya Battaglino from the Connecticut Whale was taking over the role of Director of the NWHLPA.

Riveters Roundup: Taylor Nets Her First
December 13th, 2016 The New York Riveters played their final home game of 2016, falling to the Connecticut Whale 4-2, but despite the final score, there were a bunch of positives to take away from the game with a rematch next week on the road. Taylor Holze netted her first career goal for one, which is a great story of endurance and passion as she has...
Russo & Riveters Rally Together
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. But maybe for the Riveters, more than the other three teams, this can be a rallying point – for their team more than any of the...
Shorthanded Riveters Drop Inaugural Game in New Home
