The sense of relief among NWHL players who have finally gotten their visa issues sorted out is palpable, though no one more so than Sydney Kidd. She is the final New York Riveters player who had been held from joining the squad. She is the latest NWHL athlete to make public her new, U.S.-approved status as a professional ice hockey player.

Kidd tweeted a picture of the cover of her passport and plane ticket Wednesday morning, along with the words “First time ever traveling to NYC, may as well make it a one-way ticket!” and quoting the popular Beastie Boys song, No Sleep till Brooklyn.

Kidd will be a welcome addition to the Riveters roster, which, up until now, has been able to ice only four defensemen regularly, requiring its players to play mammoth minutes in physical, grueling games. Kidd’s position on the team is not guaranteed at defense, given that she has played both defense and, most recently, forward.

As a forward, Kidd earned a third of her total 34 career points, posting seven goals and five assists in her fifth season at Western University, a CIS institution. That season, she also earned the title of second-highest in points production on her team.

The Riveters might see Kidd as useful on the forward lines, especially as the team is last place in the league in points-for. However, they are tied for first place in the league in goals-against, a much more dangerous statistic. The Riveters have let in 14 shots, but only scored 3 of their own, leaving them at a -11 overall.

While New York may need some additional firepower up front, it is far more likely that she will be useful on the blue line, relieving Riveters captain Ashley Johnston of some of her 30+ minutes and providing another body to fend off the onslaught of Boston players, who New York will take the ice against Sunday.

The game will take place at Aviator Sports & Events Center in Brooklyn, N.Y., on the Riveters’ home ice at 7:00 pm.
