Hannah Miller '18 was named the captain of the 2017-18 St. Lawrence University women's hockey team, and Nadine Edney '19 was selected as the team's assistant captain in a team vote earlier this spring.

"Every team has its own personality and it usually starts with the leaders," said head coach Chris Wells '92. "Both Hannah and Dini believe in what we do here at St. Lawrence. They are a perfect complement to each other with their leadership styles and attitudes. Hannah quietly goes about her business and Dini brings the energy. The players did an excellent job selecting our captains for 2017-18. We are all looking forward to another exciting season in Canton."

Miller had a breakout season in 2016-17, scoring 15 goals and adding 33 assists for 48 points. She was a Second-Team All-ECAC Hockey selection at forward and was the ECAC Hockey Player of the Month for January. She ranked sixth nationally in assists per game (0.92) and tied for 11th nationally with 1.33 points per game. She has 30 goals and 54 assists in 92 career games for the Saints.

Edney scored 10 goals and added four assists for the Saints in her sophomore season. She recorded her first career hat trick in a 4-0 win over Yale and added two goals in a 4-3 loss to Colgate. She enters the 2017-18 season with 13 goals and eight assists in 71 career games.

The Saints lost just three players from the 2016-17 team due to graduation: captain Kirsten Padalis '17 and assistant captains Brooke Webster '17 and Alex Moore '17. St. Lawrence finished second in the ECAC Hockey standings in 2016-17 and earned a spot in the NCAA Tournament, falling to Boston College in the quarterfinal round of the national championship. The team finished the year 26-6-4, the most wins for the program since the 2007-08 season, and finished the year ranked sixth nationally.

The 2017-18 schedule will be released later this summer.
