On this episode, Erica & Mike dive deep into last week’s NWHL news. The Boston Pride partnered with the Boston Bruins, Sarah Edney retired, and Cody McCormick is the new general manager of the Buffalo Beauts. There was also another thrilling week of NWHL hockey, featuring two games with a lot of offensive fireworks.

Additionally, we have player quotes from Riveters players after their 6-3 win over the Connecticut Whale, our own Player of the Week picks, and discussed missed opportunities surrounding the Boston partnership announcement.

Michelle and Hannah are back together! It takes a bit of time to get into the episode, as they got a tiny bit distracted to open the podcast. But, this week they talked streaming and broadcast in women’s hockey. They break down the pros and cons of the different ways leagues stream, discuss what model they’d want to see, and dream up a new way to package games. A mailbag question gets them both a little heated too.

Episode 51 is here! After some technical difficulties, we managed to get our first episode breaking down the 2018 NWHL Draft ready for our listeners. As it turns out, Mike kinda predicted the Sorokina to the Riveters trade and now there is audio evidence of it! Spooky.

Mike is back for this week’s episode where we break down the 2018 NWHL Draft, which was filled with all sorts of storylines and wrinkles. In this year’s draft we saw four Pyeongchang Olympians get selected as well as the first NCAA D-III player in the draft’s history.

Also in this week’s episode, Erica gives us some firsthand reporting from the NWHL’s historic Goaltender Development Camp in Florida! We get into some of the challenges of goaltending, try to decide which team made the best pick of the first round of the NWHL Draft, and get to some fun questions from our listener mailbag!
