2012-13 Melbourne Ice Women's captain Shona Green

A fair amount of change has happened to the roster (posted below) since the 2012-13 season. Australian goalie Georgina Carroll, forward Nicole Tritter, defender Silvia Luis have not joined the team this year.

MIW had four imports last year and all four have moved on. To replace the lose of the imports MIW have signed Maia Smith-Merovitz, Lindsay Audia and goaltender Liz Knox. Also new to main squad this year, Cien Pereira, Melbourne Ice President Emma Poynton, Nerissa Box and goaltender Jodie Walker.

The team will be coached by Melbourne Ice player Tommy Powell and helping Tommy will be team mate Matt Armstrong. With a lot of experience in the teams line up and a young switched on coaching team MIW have a strong chance of winning back to back championships.
