2022-23 SUFFOLK WOMEN'S HOCKEY SCHEDULE
BOSTON – Suffolk women's hockey has nailed down its fifth varsity season slate with 25 games in store for the 2022-23 edition of the Rams over the regular season, head coach Taylor Wasylk announced. The slate features a dozen games at Louis E. Porrazzo Memorial Skating Rink and a trip to Michigan.
"We are very excited about this season's schedule," Wasylk said. "It is a great combination of competitive CCC programs as well as some tough out of conference opponents who we have become familiar with over the last few seasons. We are excited to see how our group comes together and competes come October."

A year ago, Wasylk's squad made Suffolk's history as the winningest team in the Rams record book, 19-6-0. The blue-and-gold look to rewrite history again this season and will rely heavily on its returners, highlighted by All-American Shana Cote, to do so. Fourteen others join Cote back in blue-and-gold from last season's record-setting campaign including all-region and all-league honoree defenseman Madison Duff and All-CCC performer Sofia Scilipoti.
