"My teammates on the Riveters and I are proud to collaborate with the New Jersey Devils in this meaningful program to advance girls' hockey across the region," said Riveters captain and NWHL All-Star Michelle Picard. "These important initiatives are a big part of what the NWHL and Riveters are all about. We're really looking forward to developing the next generation of players. Most of all, we know it's going to be a lot of fun for everyone involved."
