Unofficial Woho Radio

It's been a while! This week Lauren couldn't join us, but Tay and Alice did their best to keep up with everything that's been going on. We talked about the first PWHPA showcase, our hopes for the next ones, those new NWHL jerseys, and what we'd like to see from women's hockey in the future.

And we forgot to mention it but Lauren wants you to vote for Natalie Spooner on Battle Of The Blades, which you can do here.

So this episode is a bit of a recap of what's been happening in the world of women's hockey. We talked about the Beauts/NWHL lawsuit nonsense, what the PWHPA is gonna be doing, and also women's hockey's continuing problem with transparency and communicating with the media.

And while we didn't touch on it in the episode, this article about the CWHL, and the stuff leading up to it shutting down is pretty good, if you don't read french then google translate should work well enough.

On this episode, Alice and Lauren (sadly without Tay) discuss the enormous amount of hockey news that has unfolded over the last few days. Over 200 women's hockey players say they will not play in the NWHL next season. The Buffalo Beauts might not exist next year. And we contemplate what women's hockey in North America might look like next season.

So.....the CWHL folded, Finland almost won Worlds, the NWHL announced a few too many things, and the future of women’s hockey is about to change forever. This week our hosts talked heartbreak and the hope of rebuilding in the ever-changing landscape of women’s hockey.

IMPORTANT NOTE: This was recorded before the CWHL announced it was ceasing operations.

In retrospect it's kinda sad, but hey we said we'd do a drunk episode so here it is! Come back with us to a time where all was good and happy in women's hockey. We talk about the Clarkson and Isobel Cup Finals, why #FireRandy really needs to happen sooner rather than later, and recap our favourite moments from the CWHL and NWHL seasons. CW for alcohol, both discussed and consumed.

So this week Alice couldn't be on the show, but don't worry because the better parts of the podcast are here to give you witty, vivacious commentary on all that women's hockey has to offer.

Listen to Tay and Lauren as they talk about the Riveters and their lackluster coach, the tragedy of the Blades, the AWIHL's stellar streams, and the need to confront racism and White Feminism™ in women's hockey.

This week we sit down to talk about the highs and lows of the CWHL All Star Game, the tragedy of the Whale, and whether or not the NWHL actually knows what their own rules are. We also dive into the less than stellar treatment of the media by the CWHL, and what we as fans want to see in the future. Will we ever be happy?

This week we sat down with reporter Kirsten Whelan to talk about all things CWHL. She explains the origins of the CWHL, what the WWHL was, how she got started covering women’s hockey and how she’s seen it change. She also gives a comprehensive look at why #OneLeague is far harder than it may seem.
