Women’s Division I College Hockey: 2023-24 roster updates

The Division I women’s hockey season is just about five weeks away. It was another busy offseason with a lot of movement through the transfer portal as well as coaching changes.

Most every team in the country has experienced changes on their roster beyond graduation and incoming freshman classes. There are also a number of fifth year players.

This is an attempt at putting all that information in one place.

The left side of the table are players transferring in, the left side is players who have transferred out. Teams are listed alphabetically by conference.

The best effort was made to get all this information correct at the time of publishing by compiling info from published rosters and social media, but it is all subject to change. This article will be updated as more information becomes available.
