Playing hockey for the Tigers from 2000-2004, Gorczynski will "go down as one of the program's finest players." She led the Tigers to a 69-26-8 record and is a three-time All-American selection. Gorczynski is second in RIT history in goals (66), ranking fourth all-time in scoring (127 points).

Welsh graduated from Robert Morris University where she played four years on defense for the Colonials. She made her AHL debut in 2021, as part of a 10-woman group breaking barriers for the league.
