Gary Bettman on women's hockey:
"If you're going to make a go of a new league, you have to have all of your ducks in a row. Our hope is that the women's pro landscape can be more unified going forward. .. At the right time and under the right circumstances we see a role for us"
(1/4) I am elated to join T6 as we prepare to make history on and off the ice in season 7.
As a queer Black woman in professional sports, it is a dream to hold meaningful roles with both T6 and York United.
@dlaing14 If this doesn't make you sit up straight and try harder in everything you do, I don't know what will. You are a true kick-ass inspiration for us all.
@brinewland I own a Peloton, but you husband is the primary user. He competes against close friends in London! Happy to help with the survey. @nyutischsports
So glad to see Saroya Tinker and @BlackGirlHockey claiming their rightful place in the sport of hockey. Girls of of every background should feel the joy of playing hockey and it's up to all of us to make the game more accessible. @PWHPA @NWHL @HockeyinHarlem
Hockey should be accessible for everyone. By working with @BlackGirlHockey, Iโm hoping to ensure that more Black girls have the opportunities they deserve. Thank you @PlayersTribune for sharing my story! https://t.co/vqOSTWZRgG
This is why it is so sad that DeBlasio shut down Lasker Rink, where so many youth teams played, including boys and girls leagues, and Hockey in Harlem, an amazing program.

The SheBelieves Cup started only six years ago. Since then, the @USWNT has won it FOUR times!

Unreal #SheBelievesCup
I used sports as an outlet for depression and anxiety my entire life, if the pro team I idolized had started this conversation for me, I would have felt less isolated, and accepted my struggles. Kudos @Capitals for being brave enough to fight to end the stigma. #HockeyTalks
