Next stop: Queens Classic 👑

We had a BLAST watching @GothamFC and meeting all of you! 🩵

[Richard Menning @RickMenning]

The ovation from the capacity crowd for Sam Kerr when she entered the game for @GothamFC in the second half at Citi Field was supercharged and emotional!

From the @PWHL_NewYork Sirens at Madison Square Garden in April to @GothamFC at Citi Field yesterday, women's sports are electrifying New York in historic proportions!

[Front Office Sports @FOS]

.@GothamFC announced a sellout crowd of 42,175 fans at Citi Field, making the Queens Classic the most-attended women's sporting event in New York City history.

[Richard Menning @RickMenning]

Unbelievable!

[National Women’s Soccer League @NWSL]

It had to be Rose Lavelle! 🌹

Rose Lavelle secures the first goal of a historic night for Gotham FC 🖤

@jellyfishagenda @IanKennedyCK In an article I wrote recently for https://t.co/bz598Dsufh, I state exactly why @jellyfishagenda's tweet of exactly these three divisions are SO obvious for travel and scheduling.

[Richard Menning @RickMenning]

Women's sports in New York!!! No further words needed! I will be watching on @espn!

[Gotham FC @GothamFC]

SoOoOo ICYMI -- we're basically sold out at @CitiField today for the Queens Classic, pres. by @CarMax!!

From the 86th floor of the @EmpireStateBldg observation deck, @PWHL_NewYork Sirens' No. 1 draft pick Emma Peschel and GM Pascal Daoust spend time with @TheHockeyNewsW for some one-on-one interviews with me regarding the team for the next Sounding Off With The Sirens!

[Ian Kennedy @IanKennedyCK]

Elisa Holopainen could be the New York Sirens' x-factor next season, former Metropolitan Riveters star Sarah Bujold is looking to return to the region full time, and summer action is ramping up. Here's at all-things Sirens from @RickMenning.

Count @PWHL_NewYork Sirens' top draftee Emma Peschel among those thrilled and excited about the new team in town! "Women's sports, especially in New York, have been booming, I think it's a really cool city to be a part of this growth and it's amazing," she told @TheHockeyNewsW.

[WPBL New York Heights @wpbl_heights]

We are the New York Heights.

BTS from Launch Day. 🙌 

Much love to everyone who came out to our team identity launch and made the day a success! 🫶

Oops...New England Region! @wtnh @NBCConnecticut @Erikd25 @JPPierson

The crowd at next Sunday's ESPN+ nationally televised @LittleLeague East Region softball game in Bristol could be the largest in the history of the tournament! @WTNH @NBCConnecticut @Erikd25 @JPPierson

The girls from Bristol, CT make major history in their quest to make the @LLSBWorldSeries. The team is playing regionals in their own backyard! @LittleLeague

[Richard Menning @RickMenning]

Wait...what? New York has another women's professional sports team??!! Why have I not heard about this @wlacrosseleague team? Switched on ESPN tonight and...BAM!

[New York Charging @wllcharging]

Final from Chicago.

[Ian Kennedy @IanKennedyCK]

Former PWHL veteran, who re-joined the league last season late as a reserve, Sarah Bujold, is heading back to the New York Sirens as a training camp invite.

I'd expect the veteran to make her way onto the lineup and play an important role up front.

@FriedlsKing The @Wpbl_nyc Heights' future home is going to be a fun situation to watch as the '27 season draws near. One possibility is 7,000-seat Maimonides Park with all that area's rich baseball tradition (Brooklyn Dodgers). It currently hosts the Cyclones and Brooklyn FC women's soccer.

[Richard Menning @RickMenning]

@JoshuaHowsam I echo @skiing311! This is simply a year-one plan to build the league much like the @theAUSLofficial has done before going city-specific this summer. I too give them a pass on the Springfield decision and look forward to the teams moving into their own ballparks in 2027.

[Richard Menning @RickMenning]

@ATGanias Yes, but don't forget the Heights name is a tribute to the legendary Dr. Dorothy Irene Height and has nothing to do with boroughs, skylines or neighborhoods.

[Richard Menning @RickMenning]

Thank you so much @IanKennedyCK and @TheHockeyNewsW for acknowledging the @wpbl_official's recognition of this country's trailblazing women pioneers in all four team names! A spectacular acknowledgement and a forever honor of their work!

[Ian Kennedy @IanKennedyCK]

The Women's Professional Baseball League announced their team names and logos, all paying homage to historic women in the sport and in their markets.

It was a home run in honouring pioneering women, while the PWHL's own attempts have struck out https://t.co/YLyTntxxoU #PWHL
