Throwing this out there but if anyone legit is looking for any help with merch, photo, drums, vocals, live sound help, I am very much trying to get back into it and shift careers to concerts + touring + helping bands more full time.
i wrote a short piece in december, “how do you reckon with loving a sport that might not love you back?” about being a queer fan reflecting on the nhl rolling back pride & why allyship from players means a lot, and i wanted to share these parts bc it feels especially relevant now
my dad just asked if i knew the women's team also won gold. and that's exactly why the men's behavior during that phone call is so disappointing.
the women accomplished the exact same thing (and arguably did it better) and haven't gotten nearly the same amount of recognition.

To the “it was just a joke” crowd:
When you’re constantly treated as an afterthought—your excellence framed as a political liability instead of an achievement—it’s not funny. It’s exhausting.
You can make history, can represent ur country at the highest level, can inspire a nation of girls to dream, & they will still laugh in ur face. Every woman knows this feeling & it’s why we persist. Keep laughing while women’s hockey is one of the fastest-growing sports globally.
the nhl being the way it is, is why françois was constantly calling them out for using heated rivalry to get fans and money from ticket sales while they clearly aren't changing at all...
At the end of the day, women make up roughly 40% of fanbases for the big 4 major sports in the US and make roughly 80-85% of purchasing decisions. Don’t let anyone tell you your voice doesn’t matter in this industry.
@EverydaySens Brady and his punk ass brother are the ones making it political. Direct your frustration to him since he decided to wag his tail like an excited puppy with pedophile hitler and his pedo-protecting henchman instead of the fans reminding him that he wears the C for a Canadian team.
i'm so glad you are excited to meet donald trump, quinn. i'm sure the people of minnesota, where you live and work, who are watching families being ripped apart and neighbours killed are super excited for you too 👍🏻
