"The bar is high with our team after winning the Walter Cup last season," said Frost General Manager Melissa Caruso. "We were impressed by the young players that came into camp and competed and loved the growth we saw in our returnees. We feel good about our
depth and the character of this team and look forward to seeing them on the ice together this season."
Following pre-season Mini Camp, the Frost signed returnees Brooke Bryant (F), Claire Butorac (F) and Mellissa Channell-Watkins (D) along with 2024 draft picks Mae Batherson (D - St. Lawrence University), Katy Knoll (F - Northeastern University), Brooke McQuigge
