“I’ve been with him for 15 years, so it’s tough to say one thing. Sid would just come up with me to pick my son up after school and sit around and wait for the kids to come out. He would bring him Gatorade and just spend a little bit of time with Alex.”
OKAY AVS SLAYYYYY
Anyone sending asks and making posts to the effect of "yeah but my team would never" needs to get a grip on reality. Your team very likely would and possibly already has covered up something as bad or worse, whether or not we knew about it, because white privelege and male privelege and class privelege all very much exist and thrive in pro sports, especially in the NHL. There is no ethical consumption. We can acknowledge that and still enjoy the sport while speaking up/attempting to hold the league accountable when shit like this happens. But yall have got to stop rushing to these guys' defense or acting like the players you happen to like are better than the corrupt system around them.

she’s everything and he’s just ken
side eyeing everyone who has an nhl twitter/blog but isn’t hyping up the pwhl right now. like get on that immediately please
like this is so important yet yall keep hyping up the most basic hockey guys I have ever seen. please for the love of god support women’s hockey and help ensure these women can keep going.
IT’S QUEER WOMEN ON ICE!!! WHAT MORE DO YOU WANT!!!
recap for those who don’t know/weren’t aware WHY this league is so important and why we should support it — this is the first season of the professional women’s hockey league (pwhl) in which these female athletes (olympians, former u18, and college stars, ect) are being properly compensated for their skills — AKA making enough to not have to work two jobs while also playing hockey — it’s not millions but it’s enough — starting at 35k, average at about 55k, and each team will carry a minimum six players signed to three-year contracts paying them $80,000 annually. The highest salary is rumoured to be at 120k. The league already has a collective bargaining agreement as well that covers the next eight years. There have been successful women’s hockey leagues in the past, but none began with the kind of staying power this one has.
it has 6 teams
- Toronto
- Boston
- Minnesota
- Ottawa
- Montreal
- New York
The first season began on Jan. 1, 2024, with each team playing a 24-game schedule, 12 games at home and 12 away. All games are be streamed FOR FREE on the pwhl’s youtube channel. In Canada you can also catch the games on sportsnet, cbc, and tsn depending on the day. Link to the schedule.
This is so big for not only women’s hockey, but women’s sports in general. This league was crafted together as a labour of love by women’s hockey alumni like Jayna Hefford and other female athletes such as Billie Jean King. People who love the sport, and women’s sports in general and want to see it develop and succeed so little girls can have a dream and goal of playing professionally like boys do.
support this league. It’s our best shot
Reblogging again for the above. Go watch some games!! Support the league!! The schedule is here.
