It’s rather astounding the number of hockey dudes that jump to “YoU tHiNk WoMeN cAn CoMpEtE wItH mEN?!?” when all the women want is the same opportunities for growth and development at the highest levels. Be allies, dudes, not obstacles.

Re: when I said I got terrible news, and it seems that news is more public now. Former
@URWomensHockey
defender and Winnipegger Emily Middagh passed away this past weekend. She was such a great player and a better person. Keep her family in your thoughts today.
#RIPEmily
It shouldn't be lost in this WHL announcement that the Ice owners also have purchased the Winnipeg Blues of the MJHL who will move into the new complex at The Rink as well. This move likely saves the Blues franchise in Winnipeg.
#sidenotes
This city's radio scene is the same as the NHL's coaching/management scene - the same people who have failed hard over and over find work yet again.
@SarahNickfm
deserved a better fate, and I'm hopeful she lands somewhere better. As a radio guy, I'm a fan of hers.
#messedup
Fine. I’ll say it since no one else will. At what point in the season does UBC get whistled for an embellishment call? I wasn’t aware that UBC had such a solid diving team.
#CanWestFinal
I was cleaning up my desktop tonight on this laptop, and I stopped to admire this OT beauty once again by
@MRUWomensHockey

@DariaONeill

@tatum_amy

@tiannako8
for starting the whole thing off!
If everything goes as planned,

@Auttiemac
of
@PandasHockey
! She's all over the CW record books, and we'll get the scoop on her life, career, and more on March 26!
@IIHFHockey
@leijonat
Can you please explain how that's not goaltender interference based on the IIHF rulebook? Puck's not in the blue paint, player is, and she interferes with the netminder's ability to make the next save.
It doesn't matter what they wear on their jerseys - from ACAC champions to U SPORTS champions - congratulations to the 2023 National Women's Hockey Champions,
@mruwhockey
! It's good to be part of

@scottcwheeler
@bruce_arthur
For reference, that’s a deal that the CHL negotiated with the NHL. It’s not some arbitrary amount the NHL decided to bestow upon the league.
In the last two years, could things get any better for
@VenlaHovi
?
- 2018 Pyeongchang bronze medal
- 2018 U SPORTS National Champion
- 2019 Clarkson Cup Champion
- at worst, a 2019 Women's World Championship silver medal
Congrats on a monstrous win today, Venla!

forward and CanWest Player of the Year

scored her first professional goal today as she scored a beauty against Djurgardens! Unfortunately, Leksands fell 3-2 in that game.

If you're not pumped to see

@mruwhockey
team will look to dethrone the defending champion
@Concordia_WH
tonight at 7pm ET on in the gold medal game! As Al Michaels asked, "DO YOU BELIEVE?"
Posted later yesterday because I needed to be sure it was accurate, but all of the 2020-21
@CanadaWest
WHKY recruits are now on one page and accurate to 05/27! Wanna know who's joining your fave team? HBIC has that answer!
Once more, I shouldn't be the lone voice talking about
@USPORTSca
and, more specifically,
@CanadaWest
WHKY regularly. What exactly are these governing bodies doing to promote the athletes under their watch across all sports? It seems the acceptable answer is "nothing".

Big show coming up on Thursday on
#TheHockeyShow
as we welcome former
@PandasHockey
winger
@wrighter11
to the show! We'll get the info on playing for Coach Draper, winning a National Championship, and her current work involving bisons! Excited to chat with her about all this!
So here's the thing: everyone talks about the two pro women's leagues, but Canada does a piss-poor job at supporting university hockey in this country. Labonte, Daoust, Wickenheiser, Hovi, Gavrilova, and Szabados, among many, have all suited up for a Canadian university.
It's official: Thursday on
#TheHockeyShow
,
@JasonPchajek
and I chat with a group of 🥇-winning members of the
@mruwhockey
team! We'll talk Montreal, CanWest, the big moments, how life has changed, and more! Should be a fun show at 530pm CT on
@UMFM
- join us & the
@MRUCougars
!
I find it rather funny that people are diving in on the PWHL like they've never seen how good WHKY games can be, yet there has been U SPORTS and NCAA teams playing for their entire lives. Maybe try supporting the levels from where these women came as well?

Can I just say this is incredible? Former
@mruwhockey
forward
@morgan_ramsay2
could be a future Olympian in bobsled! Stick-tap to Cougars head coach Scott Rivett for helping Morgan get into the sport too! Super-cool story - we're cheering for you in WPG!
Morgan Ramsay’s sports career is now going downhill in a hurry. That’s usually a bad thing, but as part of Bobsleigh Canada Skeleton’s (BCS) development bobsleigh team, it’s the goal. The Rivers native caught on to the sport remarkably fast.
#bdnmb
Everytime I see a
@27Knoxy
tweet promising that they'll be back, it further reinforces in me that the players are better custodians of the game than those that are/were in charge.
Keep up the fight, Liz. I'll be there to watch when you return.

Friday night, the
#1

with a victory in regulation or extra time for the first time in program history!
Where were you when this happened? The right answer is "I was at Wayne Fleming Arena!" C'mon down!
Very sad to see
@meganneduzak
moving on from
@bisonswhky
. She was a pillar of strength in the defensive zone, and her smile always lit up a room. Getting to know her parents on trips to National Championships was a blast - definitely going to miss them too! All the best, Megan!

People need to be held accountable.
Not gonna lie: I thought
@HuskiesWHKY
was gonna rally in the 3rd period there. Tough one tonight, but there’s still a chance to bring home some hardware! Close out the season with a win!
#Huskies
😃
I love how media is clamoring to talk about pro women's hockey at this point, but haven't spend a moment watching Canadian university hockey at any point. It's a little hypocritical to ignore amazing hockey in your backyard while waxing poetic about pros you don't know from afar.
Beyond excited for

When people ask me why I don’t have a Jets jersey, from the Laine trade to this off-season, this is why. This is an AHL franchise masquerading as an NHL team.

@chloemarshall9
stops every puck thrown her way for the second-straight game, and
@NULakersWHKY
put 4 goals up on the AUS champion in UNB, powering the Lakers to the U SPORTS National Championship gold-medal game! Incredible game!
Someone said "post an example". Alas, Hockey Canada's Rule 10.3 reads, "'Embellishment' means that the victim makes the impression of a foul look more serious than it truly was" and a minor can be called.
Interference called. Embellished at the end?

Darcy Kuemper now has an IIHF World Championship gold medal and a Stanley Cup in back-to-back seasons. For a guy who was fifth in Vezina voting in 2019 during his best statistical season, just make the saves when called upon, kids. It's part of a winning formula.
Might there be a

It's official as of this morning:
@HornsWHockey
is officially leading the Canada West Conference at 3-0-0-0.
For a team that went through some recent tumultuous times, all the credit to the players and coach Paisley. It's exciting to see these women putting it all together!
With six points left on the schedule,
@umbisons
WHKY needs just two points to claim their first first-overall seeding for
