Great breakdown of Sarah Nurse's recent offensive breakout and how it's actually her attention to defensive detail that's leading to her recent success.

She's gotten better each game this season, and that's great news for Toronto, terrible news for the rest of the

I took down my previous post, as there was no reason to show Ryan Whitney's disgusting use of sexual assault. Rape culture in hockey is real, and Barstool and SC are part of the problem in normalizing sexual assault in the game. So much work to be done.

What are the odds that if the Toronto Maple Leafs are eliminated tomorrow, we see a permanent playoff PWHL Toronto takeover at Scotiabank Arena?

Think your favourite team needs defensive help? Not to worry, the defensive depth in the 2024 PWHL Draft is overflowing. There are likely 25 defenders capable of stepping into the league now, and as few as 15 spots open league wide thehockeynews.com/womens/pwhl/de…

My goodness New York is bad.
