montreal: won the walter cup, no one wants to leave, everyone having fun celebrating, lost one player
vancouver: has the first draft pick, resigned their biggest player, no one wants to leave or is getting selected
ottawa: lost two walter cup finals, gm won’t sign the captain who wants to stay, goalie has a broken hand, lost three of their best players, has no defence

This was actually really fun!
Anyway, don’t forget I’m still raising money to test a bunch of things in a suit of armour:
Blumineck is trying to fun a video series doing fun and serious historical and fantasy testing in fitted plate armour.
PWHL 2025-2026 Primer
Here we are again, with the PWHL regular season starting this Friday on November 21st. This will look a lot like last years primer, but with updated information, including two new teams.
The sections of this primer are: What is the PWHL, When do they play, Where can I watch, Rules/League Structure, journalists to follow, and an introduction to each team (what they did last year, who's on the team, notable players, you should root for them if you..)
What is the PWHL?
The Professional Women's Hockey League was created in 2023 and launched in January 2024. It is currently the only professional women's hockey league in North America.
Heading into the 2025-2026 season, the PWHL has eight teams: The Toronto Sceptres, Boston Fleet, Minnesota Frost, New York Sirens, Montréal Victoire, Ottawa Charge, Vancouver Goldeneyes, and Seattle Torrent
The teams are currently all owned by the league itself, though they have individual front offices, they do not have individual ownership at this time.
When do they play?
You can find the full season schedule here. Please note that all times are in local time, and vary between Eastern, Central, and Pacific time. Each team plays 30 regular season games.
The PWHL schedule has a few things to make note of: they do what's called the "takeover tour" where they play games in a neutral market. So even if you don't have a PWHL team yet, if you live in a major American or Canadian market, they may be coming to you! They also occasionally upgrade games to nearby NHL arenas
There are pauses on Jan. 29 to Feb. 25 for the Olympics, as well as a small break from Dec. 8-15 for National Team training.
Where can I watch?
On Television
Canadian fans will have games split between TSN and its affiliates (such as TSN+) and Sportsnet, with Tuesday night games on Amazon Prime and select games in CBC
French broadcasts of Montreal games can be found on RDS, Radio-Canada, on ICI TÉLÉ and ICI TOU.TV
All fans not in Canada, Czechia, and Slovakia are available to stream on the PWHL Youtube for free regardless of location (so if you're "in market" there's no black-outs like there is NHL games. )
Regional broadcasts also show PWHL games on the following channels: Fanduel Sports Network North in Minnesota, NESN/NESN+ in Boston, MSG/MSG+ in New York, Fox 13+ in Seattle, Sportnet Pittsburgh, and select free over-the-air broadcasts for select games in various U.S. markets. Once again, Even if you are in the U.S. and your regional sports network carries it, you should still be able to access it on Youtube, blackouts do NOT apply
Fans in Czechia and Slovakia can watch games on Novasport
All of this information can also be found here if you want to bookmark it
In Person
No changes for the existing teams, except that Boston will have more games at Agganis Arena
Toronto Scepters play at Coca-Cola Coliseum
Ottawa Charge play at TD Place
Montréal Victoire play at Place Bell
Boston Fleet play at Tsongas Center (Lowell, MA) with some games at Agganis Arena (Boston, MA)
Minnesota Frost play at Grand Casino Arena, formerly known as XCel Energy Center.(St Paul, MN)
New York Sirens will play at Prudential Center (Newark, NJ)
Seattle Torrent play at Climate Pledge Arena
Vancouver Goldeneyes play at Pacific Coliseum
There are also many neutral site games this year including Detroit, Chicago, Dallas, Denver, D.C., Calgary, Edmonton, Halifax, Hamilton, Québec City and Winnipeg
What are the rules? The League Structures?
What is the point system? Who makes the playoffs?
Each game is worth three points: 3 for a regulation win, 2 for an overtime win, and 1 for an overtime loss
Four of the eight teams make the playoffs. The number one seed got to choose their opponent between the third and fourth seed. All series were best of five series, the two semi finals and then the finals.
Rules
If you are an NHL fan looking to jump in, here are the differences in the PWHL. The rulebook is also here.
Bodychecking is allowed in the PWHL, so long as it is done in an attempt to play the puck or gain possession. Reverse hits are not allowed. While women's hockey has always been physical, bodychecking at this level is fairly new. This is also not the case in international competition or in the NCAA, so it is a little different from the Olympics or worlds or college games if you are used to watching those.
The PWHL has a "jailbreak rule" which means that if you are shorthanded and score on your penalty kill, the penalty ends.
In shootouts, a player can go as many times as they'd like.
During penalties, teams have a "No Escape" rule, where players of a penalized team who were on the ice when the whistle blew are required to stay on the ice to start the penalty kill.
NEW THIS YEAR: There are no coaches challenges, decisions to review a goal either come from the PWHL Central Situation Room (CSR) or the on-ice officials.
Hits to the head, headbutting, and grabbing an opponents helmet strap, throat protector, or hair is an automatic major penalty and game misconduct.
the ottawa charge are headed to the walter cup final for the second year in a row!

Murray uses a portent roll to make the Photarch fail their save
Man, I hope Bolaire and Azune get to talk/commiserate about their sisters popping up at some point.
Like, it's almost the exact same thing: little brother about to get his ass killed, big sister who he hasn't seen in years and isn't in great shape jumps in to stop that shit, big sis gets to acknowledge little bro's presence, then big sis vanishes into the ether with little bro left behind yet safe.
And both want their sister to come back to them, want their family. But also neither knows their big sister anymore, just the core of who she was back when they were so young. Who she is now could be so very different than who she was then, could be dangerous to them despite that act of rescue. Yet still they want her there.
You drink poison almost die, a potion appears on your chest, your sword and shield somehow come to you, you're dying, your druid finally snaps out of it and removes the poison, you get rocked by would be assassins as a magical shield envelops you, suddenly a woman with the biggest rack you've ever seen appears out of nowhere and stabs one of the assassins in front of you.
Happened to my best friend King Gus.
yanessa halovar just:
✅ staged a magical miracle to bolster the public image of her relatively niche cult
✅ made house einfasen look either weak or complicit in an attempted double assassination
✅ ratcheted up tensions in a nation she's working to destabilize by nearly killing their king
*deep breath* If the antifascist (esp. American-centered) art you make or consume refuses to acknowledge the truth that framing this time period as the "sudden rise of fascism" along with its supposed volatility (i.e. "it can't last; that's not how its built") is just a comforting construct to keep white Americans from reckoning with their literal centuries of active and passive participation in this country's fascist, genocidal violence against Indigenous and Black people, your art isn't just wrong...it's worthless. How can you imagine dismantling unjust systems without seeing the blood on your own hands? How do you comprehend the size of the fight for mutual liberation without seeing that the scale of the threat is exponentially larger than your personal experience of the danger of state violence; or is your envisioned win condition only as shallow as the return to your previous sense of safety?
Ignoring the complexities and well-established enmeshment of fascism in Western culture for the sake of simpler stories to inspire rising to this moment in history only builds fair-weather fighters ill-prepared for the rigors of revolutionary action. It also widens the rift between those newly awakened to the struggle and their neighbors that have lived it for generations (and have built and maintained systems of community support and resistance that have protected them for just as long).
If antifascist art doesn't first demand you turn the eye inward, it is only escapist fluff.
Engaging in kink is a form of being vulnerable—regardless of your role—and vulnerability should always be treated with a certain amount of reverence. It’s an honor and a privilege to be able to play with people, not a right or a given.

Thaisha’s favor carrying both bite and boon delights me, so here is a DavinLloy offering.
Julian’s chivalrous kiss to iron rings burning red, her healing him in the next breath, and in so doing granting him her favor…I’ve been ruminating over this for days…
Hudson Williams, #1 Shane Understander
I think Shane was a character who, soon as I read him, made all the sense to me. I felt immediately a kinship and an ownership over Shane. I was like, “I need to be the only person to tell this story. I get it. I want to be the person to be Shane and I want to spend time with him.” [x]
