Welcome back to Purple Posts, a podcast about the memorable, funny, and sometimes just strange moments in the history of women’s hockey. On this episode, LJ walks you through that time a professional women’s hockey team played their home games in a shopping mall, including the dramatic histories of both the American Dream mall and the team that called it home, the NWHL/PHF’s Metropolitan Riveters. Then, LJ is joined by Reagan Rust, a member of the 2022-23 Riveters, to talk about what it was actually like to play in the mall.
