The 2023–24 PWHL New York season was the team's inaugural season as a member of the newly created Professional Women's Hockey League (PWHL). They played their home games at Total Mortgage Arena in Bridgeport, Connecticut, and UBS Arena in Elmont, New York.

New York finished in last place and failed to make the playoffs. Their performance secured the team the first overall pick at the 2024 PWHL draft.[4]

Offseason

On September 1, 2023, New York hired Pascal Daoust as its general manager, before naming Howie Draper the team's first head coach on September 15.[5][6] In November, it was announced that the team would play the majority of its games at Total Mortgage Arena in Bridgeport, with select games hosted at UBS Arena in Elmont.[7][8]

On September 8, New York announced the signings of its first three players, Alex Carpenter, Abby Roque, and Micah Zandee-Hart.[9] Zandee-Hart was named team captain, with Carpenter and Ella Shelton named assistant captains.[10]
