Minnesota enters its 27th season of play ranked No. 3 in both the USCHO preseason poll and the USA Hockey/TheRinkLive preseason poll. The Gophers return 17 players, including 2022 Olympian Abbey Murphy, from last year's team which earned the program's eighth WCHA Final Faceoff Championship. The Maroon and Gold added four graduate transfers and five freshmen to their roster for the upcoming season.
