#the moment that led to this blog #frankelmüller #fleet #aerin frankel #alina müller

when thinking about the futurity of the pwhl i think a major warning sign is the fact that the pwhlpa didnt strongly and immediately align themselves with the wnbpa and nwslpa and the broader interests of women's sport labor unions. in many real respects the success and failure of women's ice hockey leagues is tied to the success or failure of genuine solidarity in labor organizing, which the pwhlpa clearly lacks. there is no real incentive for the white women who make up the leadership of the pwhl to represent the interests of players of color, trans women, reserve players, non-north american players, draftees, or any of the other marginalized minorities in the pwhl

went to an evaluation for the local beginner’s queer league and had a really good time! i was really anxious at first bc id never played hockey and forgot my gloves + stick and an instructor had just told me this morning that id probably need to practice skating for a few more months before trying any hockey, but everyone was so nice and welcoming and encouraged me to try anyways and i was able to kinda keep up!

#also confirmed for the first time that a hockey locker room stinks so bad lmao

HELLO IS EVERYONE SEEING THIS. the cast is unbelievable (including my favorites Jana Schmeiding and Paulina Alexis)

Smudge the Blades is a coming-of-age hockey film that follows the TREATY 6 BLADES, a U18 team from a small reserve outside of Edmonton, forced to salvage their final year of hockey in the rough-and-tumble Country League of northern Alberta. From director Cody Lightning and the team behind 2024’s Hey Viktor!

How I love Cheryl reeve. How lucky are we to have her be one of the sports prominent voices

lesbiannieism

for anyone who isn't aware, wnba players have been speaking out recently about the abuse they've been receiving online from sports betters who bet on them and weren't happy with the outcomes of the games. notably, chelsea gray blasted a guy who called her a racial slur because she didn't score as many points as he bet she would, and courtney williams posted a voice note of her response to a guy who said some absolutely vile stuff to her

i know most of the wnba fans on here are more casual watchers, but it's still something i think everyone who pays attention to the league should be aware of because it's astounding how many comments i've seen saying that the players should just suck it up because that comes with the territory and all athletes have to deal with it. while it's true that this problem is by no means unique to the wnba, that doesn't mean it's okay or that players should have to tolerate harassment and bigotry (i swear every single one of these comments is overtly racist, misogynistic, and/or homophobic)

if the league is going to openly endorse sports betting, partner with betting platforms, and actively promote betting during every single commercial break, then it NEEDS to also take measures to protect its players from the vitriol that betting inspires. personally i think it's incredibly fucked up that sports leagues are endorsing betting at all, but that's a conversation for another day. natasha cloud said it well when she was interviewed about it: if the wnba wants to endorse betting for the sake of financial growth, fine, but that cannot come at the expense of the players, and cathy needs to step up and protect them (in this way and so many more). elizabeth williams (secretary of the players’ association) said that there’s a meeting scheduled to discuss the issue with cathy soon, but i honestly don’t know how much we can expect to come from it

ok. census time! because i feel like i have no idea what nhl/pwhl teams actually have a community with a presence on here. teams will be alphabetical by proper name across 4 polls. pleaseeeee don't vote in multiple polls!! i'm specifically trying to measure what people consider their "main" community on here (not necessarily the team you root for irl). you can pick one; i believe in you!! (click "show results" if you're curious about other polls)
