In the immediate aftermath of the successful 2016-17 campaign, Kelsey Koelzer signed a late season contract with the New York Riveters of the NWHL. Koelzer, who has since graduated, signed in time to bolster the Riveter's playoff roster. Following a bid to make the US National Team for the 2018 Olympics, Koelzer re-signed with New York (renamed the Metropolitan Riveters), for 2017-18.[3][4]

In June, a sharp blow was dealt, when 21-year coach Jeff Kampersall announced his departure to coach the Penn State Nittany Lions. Kampersall ranks 11th all-time in wins for NCAA women's hockey coaches[5] . Less that two weeks later, Assistant coach Cara Morey was named Head Coach.
