Riveters Goalie Situation Resolved - Leonoff Removed From Roster

  • NWHL
  • New York Riveters

Mike Murphy on Twitter

Appears that Jaimie Leonoff is no longer listed on the Riveters' roster. Goalies: Sojung Shin, Katie Fitzgerald, & Sarah Bryant. #NWHL

Sounds like Leonoff's visa situations couldn't be resolved for the start of the season.

      I was thinking of you when I saw the tweet... your poor Riveter goalies can't seem to catch a break! There's still hope that things will get sorted out (remember last season so many players had visa problems and missed the first few games). I think Leonoff already signed a contract so if her situation is resolved, I think her status will depend on what kind of contracts they had Bryant or Fitzgerald sign.

      Are you talking about the fact that Leonoff's father is one of the league's main sponsors? I'm sure those funds were locked up in a contract many months ago so I don't think he can pull any of it back this season. There is hope that the visa situation will be resolved (remember last season a bunch of NWHL players had visa problems and missed a few games but then got things sorted out). It'll be interesting to see if her father continues supporting the league if she can't play the entire season (or if she's even part of the roster for next season).

    That's unfortunate. Wish her the best moving forward! Doesn't Shin have visa problems as well, or has that been resolved?

      Originally we were only told that a Riveters goalie was having visa problems. Everybody automatically assumed it was Shin and that's where the rumor started. But then reports surfaced that Shin had been attending practices and her shirsey appeared in the online store, so people realized it might be Canadian Leonoff instead. That'll teach us to jump to conclusions, huh?

        Seems like me like a reasonable conclusion from the info that was available at the time! Thanks for the update. Now I can go order my shirsey :D
