BOSTON - The Boston University women's ice hockey team will welcome eight newcomers to its roster for the 2021-22 season, head coach Brian Durocher announced on Tuesday.
Six freshmen and two transfers will join the Terriers this season as part of an incoming group that is comprised of four forwards, three defenders and one goaltender.
