Women’s Division I College Hockey: 2025-26 roster updates

By
-

Even though the era of the extra Covid year is winding down, the transfer portal continues to be an active and important part of the women’s college hockey offseason. There was plenty of movement with players heading to new teams and there are a still a fair number of fifth-year players.

Here’s our attempt at putting all the staffing changes, roster moves and graduate players all in one place.

The left side of the table are players transferring in, the right 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. Several teams have not yet posted updated rosters. They are marked as such and this article will be updated as more information becomes available.
