The Riveters fell in regulation to FDNY due largely to a rocky start, but the skill, work ethic, and determination are all there.
When the puck dropped at 3:30 PM at Aviator Sports and Events Center on Sunday afternoon the Riveters took to the ice for their first game of the preseason. Their opponents were FDNY's hockey club, captained by John Sullivan from Engine Company 53. Prior to the game the Riveters had only been together as a team for about a week and a half and have had just four practices as a team, so they knew their work was cut out for them against a big, strong, veteran FDNY roster.
