@Don_inFarrhaven Positive note:
- 🇨🇦 has won 4 of last 7 U18 Worlds
- NCAA D1 recruiting for 🇨🇦 women has gone from ~28% a decade ago to ~40% for 2025 commits.
It sucks that elite female hockey players need to leave to continue developing at that level. But things look good development wise.
@Don_inFarrhaven I don’t even know what the best Team Canada looks like on the women’s side. They need to move on from ppl being on Team Canada forever and appreciate there is now ongoing competition through NCAA and PWHL careers.
@Fffeisty Brought my, now 11 (😳), yr old daughter to first playoff game… wanted that win so bad for her. Great time until it wasn’t.
Hopefully we get @PWHL_Ottawa playoffs!! 🤞
@Fffeisty That faceoff setup is designed, among other things, to give right winger a clean line to the opposing left D to make sure that shot can’t happen.
PWHL Minnesota has hit 8,300 tickets. They're opening up more seats now for their opener, plus suites.
We will have a new record this weekend for highest attended professional women's hockey game in history.
Second time in a week the record will fall. Wow!
"Several NHL teams have contacted McLean directly to see how they can respond to the league’s decision to prohibit players from using Pride-themed tape ... one NHL team even phoned his office on Tuesday to place an order for an entire case of Pride Tape."

This decision has stripped clubs of a powerful community outreach tool and removed meaningful support for Special Initiatives, all to protect a select few who do not want to answer any questions about their choices. I hope the NHL reconsiders in order to remain a leader in DEI.
Just noticed #Sens forward Tim Stützle is following the PWHL Ottawa IG account (pwhl_ottawa).
These little things go a long way to show support & allyship for the women’s game 🙌🏼 #PWHL
@TitleIXHockey @Kennybob88 It's for that reason I've been saying for past couple years that a pro women's team could do well... but tbh I absolutely didn't think it would happen in a situation where they are only launching 6 teams. My girls are pumped, we're down for 4 seasons tickets out of the gate.
@TitleIXHockey @Kennybob88 In Ottawa, nothing is done through schools. If you're playing HS hockey you've flamed out. As a dad with two girls playing, girls hockey is on fire here. Highly competitive throughout the city with teams, training, camps, etc everywhere. Support, I hope, will be relatively high.
