She has 12 points in 29 NWHL career games and played for HPK in Naisten Liiga at the end of the 2020-21 season, after Lake Placid. There’s a good chance that Čurmová will step into Morse’s role and see similar ice time for the Riveters. Interestingly enough, just before the Whale announced the Morse signing the Riveters announced the addition of Slovakian defender and former Buffalo Beaut Lenka Čurmová.

She led all Riveters’ defenders in scoring in the 2019-20 season with four goals and seven assists in 24 games but didn’t get into the box score beyond taking 14 PIM in three games at Lake Placid. Over the past few seasons, Morse has established herself as a physical top-pair defender with offensive upside. The New Jersey native brings 58 games of NWHL experience to Connecticut. This is also a reunion for Morse and Austrian center Janine Weber, who played with Morse at Providence College in 2013-14 and on the then New York Riveters in 2016-17. “Moose” also joins former Riveter Cailey Hutchison, who signed with the Whale on July 26. Morse is the fourth defender to sign with the Whale this offseason, joining Tori Howran, Hanna Beattie, and Allie Munroe. WATCH: MOOOOOSE! scores the first goal of the Buffalo Believes Classic! Playing goal outside can be tricky, and this one tricks Fujimagari to give the a 1-0 lead.
