Last week on Around the Rink, Dan Rice was joined by former Metropolitan Riveters captain (and assistant coach) Ashley ‘Stretch’ Johnston for a discussion about her playing career, being a trailblazer, and what she is currently up to these days.

Johnston answered questions about every season she played in the NWHL while highlighting important moments like that crazy first season, captaining the Rivs to their lone Isobel Cup, and making a return to the team for the league’s first Buffalo Believes Outdoor Classic.
