BOSTON – Boston University women's ice hockey will have seven newcomers on the roster for the 2022-23 season, head coach Brian Durocher announced on Friday.
 
Five freshmen and two transfers make up the two goaltenders, three forwards and two defenders that will join the Terriers this fall.
 
"Our entire staff is excited to welcome seven newcomers to Boston University and our hockey program," said Durocher. "Thanks to the tireless work of coaches Matthews and Fitzpatrick, we will add quality student athletes at all three positions. I look forward to their many contributions in the classroom, on the ice and throughout the community."
