The 2016–17 Boston Pride season was the second in franchise history.
During the offseason the Pride moved the Warrior Ice Arena which is also the home to the Boston Bruins from the Bright-Landry Hockey Center where they won the 2016 Isobel Championship.[ 1] Newly acquired Alex Carpenter signed with the Boston Pride for a one-year, $19,500 contract, making her the highest paid player of the 2015 NWHL Draft class.[ 2]
