Purple Reign

This year's trade deadline was another quiet affair as only one trade happened as finally Pluto can stop quoting Ross from Friends to both mine and Lady's delight even if it comes at the cost of a good playerBut in return we get the league's recording artist from the New York Sirens so at the end of the day it's not all bad news

While we were having the time of our lives in the states a big trade between the Torrent & Fleet took place and it's very clearly that it is Boston who are the clear winners for at least the short termWe also briefly mention the other movement that happened as we clear up whether what happened between the Sceptres & Siren was or wasn't a trade

In a special edition of the Purple Reign podcast our Boston Bruins supporter Resort Paris Goofy joins me to talk about his experience of watching the PWHL properly for the very first time

On April 11 the most heated rivalry in the PWHL took over TD Garden in another sold event which felt like a Walter Cup Finals preview in a very defensive game from both sidesJoining me on this show as our Boston Bruins supporter Resort Paris Goofy who watched the game alongside the Purple Trio

Never in all my years have I ever seen an actual wedding reception take place at a hockey arena but that is what we got at TD Place while the Charge were hosting the TorrentIt actually ended up being a hilarious distraction especially with Rob Pizzo doing a Busted and actually crash the event and we had Kenzie & Cheryl struggling to keep their composure

FINAL STOP EDMONTONThe PWHL Takeover Tour 2025/26 concluded as the Vancouver Goldeneyes returned to Edmonton and hosted another Walter Cup contender this time it was the red hot Boston FleetAnd oh boy did the Fleet light the lamp time after time as there was literally nothing Vancouver could have done apart from raining on Aerin Frankel's parade and ended her shutout streak

While the Purple Trio were representing the PWHL at the Takeover Tour in Ball Arena some of our finest were representing our league on an even bigger stageSeattle Torrent's very own Hillary Knight and Hannah Bilka were present on the red carpet at this year's Oscars ceremony

Not long after announcing their first national broadcast game an even bigger move was made as this year's Walter Cup Finals will be broadcast on national television across the United StatesThis is a huge step in the right direction as the growth in our league continues at a rapid pace and this will give us the opportunity for more people to watch our players compete for the biggest prize in sports

The PWHL Starting Six is where each month the league will recognise three forwards, two defenders and one goaltenderIn this fourth Starting Six recap the Purple Trio celebrate the Starting Six for the month of March 2026

As we were at Manchester Airport getting ready for our first flight I did a last minute email to Jocks in Jills to try and get their advice ahead of our first PWHL tripI had no idea that they would actually reply back to it and that was quite a shock watching the episode in our hotel roomNOTE: This episode contains footage from Season 3 Episode 51 of the Jocks in Jills podcast which you can check out yourselves - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kxVnWUkVUzg&list=LL&index=18&t=4211s
