The University of Minnesota Duluth women's hockey program, which will embark on its 25th season in 2023-24, will commemorate the milestone with a UMD Women's Hockey 25th Anniversary Team that will be announced throughout the regular season.

The 25th Anniversary Team was selected by longtime local media members and local hockey historians. Each member of the selection committee privately selected a total of 25 players, which included a starting six players that will represent the six best players so far in Bulldog history. The only requirements for the other 19 players selected by committee members was that at least three of them were positionally defenseman and at least two goaltenders. 

A list of greatness, the 25th Anniversary Team will span the more than two decades of players that have skated for one of the most successful NCAA Division I women's hockey programs in all of women's college hockey. UMD women's hockey will unveil one player every Thursday in no particular order over the regular season, and then the last week of the regular season, will announce its 25th Anniversary starting lineup.

The No. 7 Bulldogs will reveal the first member of the 25th Anniversary Team next Thursday, Oct. 5, the day before UMD opens up the season at AMSOIL Arena with Long Island University in a Friday-Saturday series that will get underway Friday night at 6:00 p.m.
