May 19, 2018 The Founding 4 Podcast: The Connecticut Whale(o) Recap!
On the 25th episode of the Founding 4 Podcast, Erica and Mike dig into the 2017-18 Connecticut Whale season. We all know where the Whale finished in the standings and how much they struggled to score goals, but there was a lot more to the story than that.
How great was rookie goaltender Sydney Rossman? How good were rookie skaters Emily Fluke and Amanda Boulier? What would the Whale have looked like if Meghan Huertas didn’t go down with an injury? Why didn’t the power play work!?
Erica and Mike sink their teeth into all of this and more in this retrospective on Connecticut’s season.

May 17, 2018 The Founding 4 Podcast: Whitecaps Expansion Special!
Holy smokes! The Minnesota Whitecaps joined forces with the NWHL this week!
With the addition of the Whitecaps the NWHL is now a five-team league with a presence in the United States’ two biggest hockey hotbeds. Mike and Erica take a break from their team-centric recaps of the 2017-18 season (to be continued) to talk expansion news, the Minnesota market, what the Whitecaps joining the NWHL means for the world of women’s hockey, and what comes next. But that’s not all!
For this week’s Expansion Special (please imagine improvised airhorn sound effects here) we have unique quotes from:
- Dani Rylan, NWHL Commissioner.
- Winny Brodt-Brown, Whitecaps co-captain and founding member of the Minnesota franchise.
- Amanda Leveille, NWHL Goaltender of the Year and University of Minnesota alumna.
We also take some time to answer some questions and address some thoughts from our listeners regarding this historic step for the NWHL and women’s hockey. There's so much to talk about! Expansion! History! Whitecaps!

May 09, 2018 The Founding 4 Podcast: To infinity, and cackalacky!
This week on the Founding 4 Podcast Mike and Erica break down the Boston Pride’s 2017-18 season.
Ohhhhh there was so much to talk about concerning the Pride and all the changes the team went through during the 2017 offseason. The Pride’s national team players and household names like Blake Bolden and Alex Carpenter left the team and were replaced by coveted free agents from the NWHL’s other three teams including Dana Trivigno, Janine Weber, and Paige Harrington.
We examined Boston’s slow start, its greatly changed blue line, and identified the players who made the biggest impact for the Pride this year. We also discussed Boston’s late push and how close first-year head coach Thomas Poeck and his team were to the Isobel Cup Final.
Oh, and did we mention that this episode features an interview with All-Star defender and North Cackalacky’s own Alyssa Gagliardi? Because it does!
