Almtuna IS will play a 12-game schedule from October through November. 

While in the blue-and-gold, Molind laced up her skates in 91 contests from 2021-25 and served as an assistant captain a year ago. She was a cog in 50 victories highlighted by the Rams 2022 Commonwealth Coast Conference (CCC) Championship and first-ever bid to the NCAA Division III Tournament.
