Purple Reign

The countdown to Denmark begins with our first team preview as first up is the reigning champions USA

With Frankel and Philips in tandem the Americans look all but unstoppable as not only as they will look to defend their World title they also enter the Danish cities with an Olympic gold on their backs

Things have gotten worse in Austria since we last reported on this developing story as several of the nation's top players put their money where their moth is and boucotted international tournamentsAt least we now know what the cause of the problem is and why are we not surprised it is because of a man!!!

Last weekend the first leg of the 2026/27 Women's Euro Hockey Tour kicked off as the four best european teams met in Kloten with three of them having new coaches behind the benchIn the end it was the hosts Switzerland who proved to be the best as they absolutely did what they needed to do and build on the momentum of their bronze medal in Milano-Cortina

Back on Friday we got some breaking news regarding the future of the Women's Para Ice Hockey World Championships as the second edition will be taking place down underWe're all heading to Newcastle during the 24-29 November as Team GB will be looking to perform a lot better than the fourth place finish they achieved last year in Slovakia

I don't know who's more disgusted Me or Lady as with now only weeks to go before this year's Worlds the Austrian Women's team is being treated with the utmost disrespectLady says it best in the episode if it were the Men's everyone would bend over backwards but because it's the Women no one seems to bat an eyelid This is unacceptable and all I have to say is shame on you Austria

Over the summer the Minnesota Frost hosted two summer camps for girls and women over on the south border in California partnering up with both the LA Kings and Anaheim Ducks

San Jose & Las Vegas are the two expansion teams that I feel are making the most noise right now especially seeing how my Sharks are really making them feel like they belong whereas over in Vegas we're seeing the exact opposite

With both Seattle & Vancouver's first seasons in the books I personally I am a little bit skeptical about how our four new expansion teams arriving in November are going to fare and could we see them also struggle to get off the mark

The 2025/26 season saw the city of Edmonton made a massive push in its bid to make women's hockey a permanent home as they hosted two Rivalry Series games and two PWHL Takeover Tour games involving the Vancouver Goldeneyes
