New York is a professional ice hockey team based in the New York metropolitan area. They are one of the six charter franchises of the Professional Women's Hockey League (PWHL).

History

The PWHL revealed that one of its first six franchises would be located in the New York metropolitan area on August 29, 2023.[1] The league announced on September 1 that Pascal Daoust, the former general manager for the QMJHL's Val-d'Or Foreurs, would be the team's inaugural general manager.[2][3] On September 15, Howie Draper was named as the team's first head coach, taking a leave of absence from his position as head coach of the University of Alberta program to do so.[4][5]

Each PWHL team was permitted three signings during the free agency period ahead of the 2023 PWHL Draft. On September 8, the team announced the signing of its first three players, United States national team members Alex Carpenter and Abby Roque, and Canadian national team member Micah Zandee-Hart.[6] The draft was held on September 18. New York's first selection, at fourth overall, was Canadian Ella Shelton.[7]

In November 2023, it was revealed that New York's colors would be turquoise, navy blue, and white.[8] On November 28, the team announced that it would play its home games at Total Mortgage Arena, also home to the Bridgeport Islanders of the American Hockey League.[9] On November 30, the team announced it would play 4 games at UBS Arena, home of the New York Islanders of the National Hockey League.[10]

On December 21, the team announced that Zandee-Hart would be its first captain, and that Carpenter and Shelton would be serve as alternate captains.[11] In the team and the league's first ever game, a 4–0 victory over PWHL Toronto on New Year's Day 2024, Shelton scored the first goal in league history, and Corinne Schroeder recorded the league's first shutout.[12] The team hosted its first home game on January 5, losing a rematch to Toronto by a score of 3–2.[13]
