What began as a last-minute idea between Saroya Tinker and Sophie Jaques has become one of the fastest-growing grassroots initiatives in women's hockey: Women of Colour Hockey Collective.

Women of Color Hockey Collective held its 4th annual camp this weekend, and 1st since rebranding.

I spoke with PWHL guest coaches Sophie Jaques, Mikyla Grant-Mentis, and Jade Iginla, plus WCHC founder Saroya Tinker, about the camp, the rebrand, and more: https://t.co/01DR3U66uZ

For anyone that’s questioned if I truly love the game of hockey, I hope this answers some questions. You have to really love something to endure constant sexism and racism. My work is always measured by my gender and color of my skin. So no, I didn’t wake up one morning and think “I’ll cover hockey for the sake of it.” I feel in love with a game that brought me comfort through my parents divorce and the loss of my best friend. I found hockey relatable in the sense that the players have to be so agile and flexible in chasing their dreams. Moving a lot. Living with other families. Making life decisions at young ages. These are all things I experienced as a military brat and respect the mental muscle it takes to endure such unknown paths.

This is why I have endless gratitude to an organization like the @TBLightning with a staff and locker room that allowed a space to learn and grow in hockey. Ask questions, fail and learn more.

Yes as someone learning, I’ll make mistakes. Yes, I have a corky approach to my journalistic style. Yes, I spend extra money I don’t have to skate 1-2x a week and learn. I’m always learning and I will keep covering the sport I fell in love with whether it loves me back or not ❤️

[TSN Hockey @TSNHockey]

From @meganebozek, @saroyatinker71 & @dponticelliTV - With every game going to OT in @thepwhlofficial finals and Game 3 going to 3OT, how important is recovery with a day off between games? What's the message for the Charge and Frost heading into Game 4? https://t.co/szXyN10bdf

[TSN Hockey @TSNHockey]

The @PWHL_Ottawa hosts @PWHL_Minnesota in Game 2 of @thepwhlofficial Finals tonight and will be without Katerina Mrazova.

@meganebozek, @saroyatinker71 & @dponticelliTV on who will be counted on in her absence and the expected change in net for Minny: https://t.co/M7hP7CTrJc

[TSN Hockey @TSNHockey]

The @PWHL_Ottawa are 9-1 in their last 10 games decided by one goal, including playoffs. @meganebozek, @saroyatinker71 & @dponticelliTV on if that's sustainable, the message is for the Frost heading into Game 2, and the factor special teams could play: https://t.co/6T0lszt27x

[TSN Hockey @TSNHockey]

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions – rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking concrete steps to make sure all students at Harvard can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope other institutions follow suit.

many of you aren't ready to hear this, but the fact he looks like that and is a pilot is actually proof he's probably more qualified than most of his white counterparts

old white guys who run everything dont hire black guys who look like this unless their talent is undeniable
