Despite an excellent start, New York finished last in the PWHL during the regular season.
When the PWHL kicked off on New Year’s Day in Toronto, the women’ s hockey world was talking about one team, and it wasn’t the home side…it was New York.
There were multiple reasons for the team faltering. Draper admits the way the team won early on in the season was unsustainable. “I don’t know how that happened. Maybe it was sort of that we were going into games worried that might happen. When you worry about that happening, you can’t play your best hockey, then it happens, and now you’re chasing again.”New York had arguably one of the most unique home arena setups–in that they didn’t really have a home. The team held its home contests in three different states, playing four games at Total Mortgage Arena , six at UBS Arena and two at the Prudential Center .
One of the big facets that New York realized was how quick the tempo is in the PWHL. Draper says the team will take strides to address that, among other things. Arguably, the team’s best player was Corinne Schroeder. The former Boston Pride netminder gave New York a chance to win almost every night, finishing with a 7-7-0 record. Her .930 SV% was second in the PWHL behind Montreal’s Elaine Chuli .Draper did not hold back in saying how good Schroeder was this season.
“We gave up a lot of shots, a lot of quality scoring chances, and Schroeder, along with Levy, they were amazing for us, they kept us in games. Many of the losses, were one-goal games.”
