SYRACUSE, N.Y. – With the start of the fall semester, the Syracuse ice hockey team announced the addition of seven newcomers to the 2017-18 roster. Forwards Taylor Curtis, Emma Polaski, Ronnie Callahan and Victoria Klimek, defensemen Jessica DiGirolamo and Kristen Siermachesky, and goaltender Edith D'Astous-Moreau will each suit up for the Orange in its tenth season.
The freshman class includes a trio of forwards from across the United States in Callahan, Polaski and Curtis. Callahan and Curtis both played for the East Coast Wizards U19 team while Polaski suited up for the New Jersey Colonials U19 program. All three are US National Development camp attendees with Polaski and Curtis leading the way with four camp appearances.
Klimek, the final forward in the freshman class, along with defensemen Siermachesky and DiGirolamo, hails from Ontario. All three Canada natives played in the Provincial Women's Hockey League (PWHL). Siermachesky and DiGirolamo represented the Stoney Creek Junior Sabres and the Oakville Junior Hornets, respectively, while Klimek spent a season on each team.
D'Astous-Moreau, the sole goaltender of the class, also played in the PWHL for the Nepean Junior Wildcats. She represented Team Canada at the 2016 World Championships and was named the top goaltender at the 2015 National Women's U18 Championship, playing for Team Quebec.
The seven newcomers will join 16 returners for the 2017-18 season. The Orange tied the program record for most conference wins with 14 CHA victories last season. The team battled its way through the CHA tournament before coming up short against Robert Morris in the Finals.
Syracuse will host the University of Ottawa for an exhibition game on Sept. 24 before heading to Bemidji State for the season opener on Sept. 29.
