Gopher Women 2026-2027

First WCHA home series for the new coaching staff against Ohio State WOOF. I'd pay a lot of money to hear Muzerall's pregame speech for that one!

I always like keeping track of jersey numbers for the new players. So far we have:

Milani #43

Hartmetz #53

McCullough #93

I am working on the Women's roster. Can you give me more info on these 3? I assume they are freshman? Position? INfo would be great so I can get them added.

All freshmen 

F Adrianna Milani (from Oakville, Ontario)

F Maddie McCullough (from Newmarket, Ontario)

D Sloane Hartmetz (from Phoenixville, Pennsylvania)

Other freshmen, jersey number TBD:

F Rachel Piggott (Richmond Hill, Ontario)

D Katya Sander (Chanhassen, Minnesota)

G Payton Rolli (Warroad, Minnesota)

Also for your preliminary roster, Bouveng, Laitinen, Morrow, and Franco are not coming back. Out of eligibility.

thanks for the info. I knew I should not have looked at CHN’s women’s roster for next season!

Milani (43) and McCullough (93) wore those numbers last year for Etobicoke. Sloane Hartmetz wore “8” last year at Shattuck, but Chloe Primerano has that here 

The roster has been updated.

It is a more simplified profile list, but if you click in to any player it will be a brand new experience/look for GPL.

Thanks Jup, looks great

Individual profiles now contain their career stats. Except the freshman of course.

Full women's team stats page is now available as well. With 8 seasons of data. The link is up in the Nav as well.

Note that player links will for the most part NOT work for the women in the historical stats. It is just built to assume the players are in the system. But only current players are in the system.

Thanks to a great inside source, all numbers have been assigned for this years team.

In the conference maybe.

In the conference maybe.

Both things can be true.

Is it still Wisconsin and Ohio St and then a big gap to the rest of the country?

I know - was a bit tongue-in-cheek because it feels like the Gophers will be a large step behind the Top 2.

New addition to the Women’s schedule. The Durham West Jr. Lightning of the OWHL is making a Minnesota trip this weekend and will play the Gophers 2:00 on Sunday for a season opening exhibition at Ridder. Durham West will also play Shattuck’s Prep Team in Faribault on Friday at 6:00 and  St. Thomas in St. Paul at 2:00 on Saturday.

Gophers up 3-0 after one. Goals by Primerano, Hartmetz and D’Alessandro

Forward lines in that period (as best I can tell):

Kaiser Fanale Paul
Milani Allard Lindsay
Schalin Kreisz Plosová
Distad Piggott McCullough
Hovland Kortan D’ Alessandro

D-pairings looked like they were:

Primerano Jordan
Graham Hartmetz
Humphrey Sander Bailey (rotating)

My old brain might not remember at the end of the period so Paul, Distad, Milani (twice) and Kriescz this period so far

Plosova, Kaiser and Lindsay (twice) in the third make it a 12-0 final

I was thinking D'Alessandro might be the odd one out of the top 12.

Also, no Goldsworthy on the blueline today?

Near as I could tell she was the only one on the roster not suited up.

Tereza Plosova will miss the opening weekend in Bemidji.

………and a couple more players will be missing some early season time.
