D3 Women?

Yes.
Where did you see this? Just talking last night that my daughter's season slated to start Jan. 15 (tentative schedule). Or, were you referring to a specific team/conference?

Actually - I was probably overbroad. I don't know about all the D3 conferences. I know that the NESCAC and the SUNY schools. Not sure about the others. Sorry - didn't mean to alarm anyone.

Haha! No worries. I see NEHC announced the cancellation of the season on Monday. I wouldn't be surprised if it did happen. Thanks!

Just be clear, can't speak for the other NEHC schools, but I know Norwich is actively exploring trying to still play games against any other "local" teams that are willing to play and can play safely etc. IE: Castleton, St. Michael's, NEC, Plymouth etc.
With the vaccine supposedly available in the coming weeks, if the pandemic was under control by say mid-March, would the NCAA and conferences be open to something like a single elimination tournament featuring all 69 teams?
I did a mock-up of what that might look like using the March 8 PWR rankings on ncaa.com as a guide but making adjustments for geography if anyone wants to engage in a pointless debate: https://1drv.ms/b/s!AiuZNlbiGUr3geh37j2jTJofeRbPmg?e=2e9l2i (this is a link to a PDF on my OneDrive account)

It’s definitely a fun thought but 50 percent of the D3 teams have already written off the season. I don’t see that changing, but I could be wrong.

Exactly. The schools can still make the decision to try to have some type of a season. Adrian, Trine, and Concordia (WI) have already played some games.

Certainly something like that would be possible among those teams that would choose to participate. That being said, it would require some action and waivers to D3 rules to actually get it to happen. The NCAAs is notable for its lack of flexibility for D3 matters. Since they are floating the idea of the entire Men's DI hoopathon to take place in a bubble, it could happen, but I wouldn't hold my breath

Expect to see some type of scheduling agreement in early January. Vermont’s governor is the strictest of the bunch. If they can convince him then they’ll have some type of season schedule including Plymouth, NEC and maybe even USM. If not it’ll be Norwich, St Mike’s and Castleton.

Yeah, he's not the strictest. There was football played in Vermont this year. It, along with basketball, volleyball, and contact cheerleading are still banned in New York. Strictest governor? Comrad Cuomo would like you to hold his beer....

Just a small correction...thanks for posting this and bringing awareness to the number of former D-III players in the NWHL!
Conway, Anderson and Schwenzfeier all play for the Connecticut Whale and not the Riveters. Not sure on the rest of those players. I thought Wolejko was on the Whale too though? Either way, great promotion for Division III and I hope people consider buying a player's shirt. I know the players receive a small portion of the proceeds from the sale of their shirts.
It's my understanding that the MIAC schools will soon vote to compete in a regular season or not. Games would be scheduled in late January through February with the top 4 teams qualifying for the "playoffs". Team testing would be conducted with each school covering the cost.
St. Olaf has already "opted-out" and my guess is that more will follow.

So what had happened was, I was preparing to go down the rosters and list them for each team and I wrote out the Rivs but they didn't have any. I guess I forgot to change the heading.

Am thinking the only schools who will have the means/desire to implement testing for all Winter Sports will be St. Thomas (unlimited athletic budget, apparently) and St. John's/St. Ben's. Maybe Gustavus and Bethel, but hard to imagine the other TC schools wanting to cover those costs, and St. Mary's and Concordia seem dubious. It's not just Women's (and Men's) Hockey, it's M&W Basketball, Swimming and Diving, Indoor Track, Skiing... that's an awful lot of testing for these schools, and it seems highly unlikely the Governor will open the state up anytime soon.

A vaccine won't be widely available in the coming weeks. Initially, it will be available only for frontline healthcare workers and residents of long term care facilities. After that, it will go to essential workers, those with conditions making them more susceptible to the virus, and those over 65. The general public probably won't start getting vaccinated until April, and it will likely take several months after that for it to get to everyone.
