Purple Reign

This season saw the Montreal Victoire finally conquer their playoff demons and became our successors to the Walter Cup but apart from stellar netminding what helped them get over the line was they finally found some much needed depth scoring

Despite their arena drama and dealing with a personnel tragedy the Ottawa Charge once again made another deep run for the Walter Cup alas once again their efforts were in vain despite both Rebecca Leslie and Gwyneth Philips proving to be rising stars in the organisation

Once again our Minnesota Frost entered the season as defending Walter Cup champions and put up a valiant defence led mainly by the standout stars Kelly Pannek and Taylor Heise who continued to make histroy in this league

Let's face it the Boston Fleet owe all of their success to Kris Sparre who helped turned this team around and make them Walter Cup contenders but also Aerin Frankel played a key role in the on ice magic in Boston this season

For the Toronto Sceptres they had a new netminding tandem even if they didn't call it that as Raygan Kirk stepped up to the plate and kept the Sceptres firmly in games but their offense and especially their powerplay went stone cold

Despite another strong showing in the Entry Draft the New York Sirens ended up going backwards rather than forwards as the cracks in their organisation were shown as they relied heavily on Kaylee Osborne and Sarah Fillier went silent

Despite having Hillary Knight it was never going to be easy for the Seattle Torrent as they struggled to get off the ground despite having the best and largest crowds at Climate Pledge Arena night in night out

The Vancouver Goldeneyes had high expectations going into the 2025/26 season but alas their struggles were evident from the very beginning but they did win the next big thing the right to make the first overall pick

We finally now know who Vancouver has hired as their new head coach and surprise not surprise that its their now former general manager Cara who returns to bead coachingThere is a double standards to this announcement as the league seem fine having a man take a dual role but not a woman have a dual role especially as Cara is more qualified than Troy

I literally am not happy with fans right now who believe that Marie=Philip Poulin is wrong for taking a trip of a lifetime with her partner Laura Stacy instead of going straight into surgeryAt the end of the day she is a human being who has done more than enough for Montreal and the sport in general and deserves to take a much needed break before surgery and an intense rehab awaits
