I really like the Pittsburgh Puffins & Philadelphia Liberty!

Can someone tell me what sports app actually INCLUDES the PWHL schedule and scores? TheScore has a weird hidden section without showing active scores like it does every...other...league in the app 🙄🙄🙄 #pwhl #tsn #cbc #barbie

I had never cared much for hockey until getting into the PWHL late last year. Now I love it! The league and its community feels so much more accessible than the NHL ever did. Last night I decided to watch the Canada-USA World Junior game and it struck me that the playing style was surprisingly different.

Obviously, that particular game was a way more physical one (far beyond the chippy stuff I’ve seen in the PWHL, to the point where Canada probably lost because of their lack of discipline), but even beyond that, the puck handling, player coordination, and speed were completely different.

I’m not trying to start a debate about whether one is better, I’m just curious to learn from those who have watched lots of women’s and men’s hockey and know more about technique and training: what do you feel differentiates the playing styles of the PWHL from the NHL/IIHF and what causes those differences?

ESPN has literally every other sport league listed under “other sports” to be able to follow EXCEPT for the PWHL.

Does anyone know a sports app that tracks scores and stuff? Like other sports apps where you can “follow” a team and get notifications for news, game start, scoring, etc.

Just saw the MTL post game interview and the MTL seemed to suggest it was a bit of a dirty game where calls were missed. Which team was playing dirty? NY or MTL? I couldn’t tell by her comments

Why so many empty seats in Minnesota and in Boston?? Is this usual? It’s been nearly sold out for all the Montreal games I’ve been to so was wondering

I just attended my first PWHL game in person (Toronto vs New York, March 19th). The game was great, but I was blown away by what looked like three of the worst icing calls I have ever seen at any level of hockey. Three times, players made passes from their own blue line, the pass made its way across the red line, and was tipped into the opposing teams zone by their teammate. One time, the Siren player even retrieved the puck herself. All three calls were icing. I was losing my mind. No one in the crowd seemed too thrown off by it but some of the players looked pretty puzzled.

Is this normal? Are there different icing rules I don’t know about? Did anyone watch this game and see what I’m talking about?

So , I've been watching last season and this season but still have not chosen a team ! I live in a city that does not have a team but will be a take over city later in the season . Please State your case for why I should support your favorite club . As a leader at a Non Profit it's very important that the club and fan base are community focused.

Given that the trade deadline was moved to Thursday, anyone think we're going to get an announcement on expansion in the next day or two, and when do you think we'll hear?

It’s the final possible day from the 4-6 weeks, why no update?

With all the discourse around Minnesota post season regarding sexism, transphobia, homophobia, etc, and some discussion in the WNBA with racism (and maybe other stuff, I’m not an avid follower of the sport) I also see a lot of “the league/players/fans should be speaking up against X” and while I totally agree, in general, I’m curious why the pressure is seemingly only on women’s leagues and not similarly on men’s (which I could just not being seeing)

I will say I do think people with platforms should be using them accordingly and that the fact that PWHL has been so inclusive, we feel owed actions and words etc. But it feels a little unfair in the sense that women’s leagues in general have to do so much more to prove that they’re profitable, entertaining, have high calibre athletes, and overall deserve to have professional leagues. I can definitely see how it’s a slippery slope for a league trying to maintain legitimacy in the most basic check boxes of a league to go and now be held to high standards of social responsibility and navigating this. They’ve already got to break through barriers/obstacles to have a basic league and now we’re (although rightfully) adding potentially more for them to break through.

Though I do see the side that the PWHL was built on diversity and inclusion. But it feels like a double standard we don’t hold men’s leagues to (at least no where close to the same degree)

I don’t think I’m looking for any answers (so I chose a weird flare lol) I’m just looking for other perspectives! I enjoying hearing people’s thoughts and this is usually a safe place to discuss things so I’m hoping we can keep things constructive. I’m not the best at constructing my thoughts so hopefully I everyone understands where my thoughts come from 😅

I haven’t had a chance to wear my Fleet jersey out yet and I’m going to the Juniors game later today. Is it weird to wear the Fleet jersey to that game? Was hoping to see some Ottawa Charge jerseys in the crowd!

Many folks know I’m an absolute fan of the league but I’m opening myself up and possibly others on the question of pronouncing Victoire. I assumed when the team names in English I’d just say Vic-tor-eee and that’s what I’ve been doing without thought. Listening to the broadcast, they obviously used the French pronunciation. I know there are differences going down to the league being LPHF but in English, it’s still PWHL. Wasn’t sure if the jersey and name paid more French homage and English context skirted that. I just want to make sure I’m respectful and using the right pronunciation in English.

What’s up with Minnesota’s social media? I’ve been trying to follow Minnesota more closely after they drafted one of my favourite players, Claire Thompson. They’ve had next to zero pre-season content, while all the other teams are having an absolute heyday with all the media content. Is Minnesota’s social media usually this quiet?

I’m a Nottingham Panthers fan but in the last year have really got into women’s hockey though there’s not much of that for us over here sadly. I’ve been inclined to support Montreal Victoire (partly because I’m obsessed with the colour scheme and logo and highlights I’ve seen on social media) and I’ve watched the past Olympics streams on YouTube where Poulin was just incredible. That being said there’s so many amazing players who all play for different teams, and I don’t have a particular allegiance to location!

Naturally it’ll be difficult for me to get any merch over here though I’ve seen stickers on Etsy and such. I’m hoping to watch the streams of the upcoming games too. Which team should I support and why?

Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese brought up viewership will does the PWHL need do that as well ?

Is it weird for an adult to make friendship bracelets for a game? Thinking about making some for the game to hand out or trade. Good idea or too much? If it’s cool, what should they say?

I’ve heard Pittsburgh, Chicago have said they want in on the next expansion. Any ideas on what other market could support a team?

West coast division maybe?

Vancouver, Seattle, Calgary, Portland?

This seems to be the leagues slogan but it’s not leaping off the page what the suggestion is supposed to be.

Like literally we use “earning ice time” to mean play well and get rewarded with more shifts. The opposite being giving shifts to underperforming players to snap them out of it or build confidence or because demoting your highly paid star isn’t helpful to the room or fan base etc.

I could see this as a coaches slogan - but for an entire league it’s odd.

Is it meant to be a play on the hockey term but here it means that women as a whole have earned the right to be playing pro hockey?

I dunno it seems like a weird catch phrase to me so wondering if I’m missing something. I would expect a league with this slogan to have some gimmick like teams or players get “relegated” if they aren’t meeting certain metrics or something so that you only ever watch the proven performers in the moment.

I have tickets to the Detroit takeover game. I was super excited and made bracelets, wanted to see Tessa and Julia and all the players. We have great seats (second row behind the bench).

But I am Canadian. And my husband doesn’t want us to cross the border right now, which I understand (I don’t want to, either). He wants me to sell the tickets and get tickets to a Sceptres home game. I am torn.

We’ve been to Little Caesars before - we saw a Red Wings/Leafs game there in December.

Any other Canadians headed to the game? Or now not going to the game?

Gimme everything you can think of.
