Professional update! I’m excited to be joining @Sheng_Peng at @sjhockeynow as the sites first PWHL San Jose beat writer. Check out my first piece, an update from Troy Ryan on Corinne Schroeder’s injury⬇️⬇️

Welcome @Eli_Fastiff!

Eli is SJHN's first @PWHL_SanJose beat writer.

Here's his first story, Troy Ryan's first public comments about starting goalie Corinne Schroeder's potentially serious injury.

What are his options if Schroeder isn't ready for camp? https://t.co/I7JSCwR2Mq

This summer, Sea Lions HC/GM Troy Ryan visited Laila Edwards in Cleveland. Over coffee, lunch, and ice cream, they discussed Edwards' professional goals and potential roles.

The result? Edwards has dubbed herself the Sea Lions' "Swiss Army knife." 👇👇

Laila Edwards 5-on-3 power-play goal. It's her third goal of the tournament and fifth point.

Laila on the power play, 6-0 USA ‼️

Welcome, San Jose Sea Lions!

I asked WillMack about the new @PWHL_SanJose team name.

Celebrini: "Fits the brand with the Sharks. That’s cool."

Smith: "It's awesome. We're super excited to see them around the rink & go to a couple games."

A few members of the PWHL’s San Jose Sea Lions are getting some work in this afternoon at Tech CU Arena. Training camp is about a week away

7. California sea lions primarily hunt squid, anchovies, mackerel, rockfish, and sardines.
8. According to the National Zoo, California sea lions can live up to 20 years in the wild and up to 30 years in captivity.

Some sea lion fun facts:

1. On land, a group of sea lions is called a colony, in the water, a raft.
2. Sea lions are part of the pinniped group (made up of marine mammals with front and rear flippers), along with seals and walruses.
3. Unlike seals, sea lions have ear flaps.

[Eli Fastiff @Eli_Fastiff]

4. Sea lions are part of the Otariidae family, along with fur seals.
5. Most sea lions spotted in the Bay Area are California sea lions, although Steller sea lions (Eumetopias jubatus) are also present.
6. Steller sea lions are the largest species in the Otariidae family.

San Jose Sea Lions, reporting for duty.

[Eli Fastiff @Eli_Fastiff]

@CreaseGiants I understand, but then why not have those announcements at 10:30 et? Having half the teams have their names revealed before 6 a.m seems silly (but I’m biased because now I have to wake up for it)

[Eli Fastiff @Eli_Fastiff]

This is a crazy time to make an announcement for a west coast team. I get not wanting to conflict with worlds games, but come on.

[San Jose Sea Lions @PWHL_SanJose]
