There are only 44 Division I women’s ice hockey teams. 158 players entered the transfer portal after last season. Only five teams did not lose a single player to it. Unfortunately for Boston University, the Terriers were not one of those teams. Eight players from the 2023-24 team entered the transfer portal. That is 30 percent of the roster and the second most entries of any team in the nation, only behind the University of St. Thomas, which entered nine.
