Rylind MacKinnon Takes Control On And Off The Ice

In Downtown Vancouver, 18-year-old Rylind MacKinnon was doing what any normal first year student would do on move-in day: moving the large pile of boxes to her room, meeting her roommates, and getting settled into her new home away from home.

That all had to be quickly put on hold when she walked back down to her mom’s car and realized her bike had been ripped off the rack on the back.

“I figured, okay, let's just go down the street and see if anyone has it,” said MacKinnon. “Sure enough, I spotted it and I just went up to the guy and took it back saying, this is my bike, I'm gonna have to take this back from you and I rode off.” ...

What if we just watch the Takeover games on You Tube (or TSN or RDS for our northern neighbors), and report how many celebs are schmoozing with Billie J & Ilana S at each venue?

No PWHL YouTube Coverage In Canada: "As you grow there are trade offs that you have to make"

The PWHL will no longer broadcast games in Canada on YouTube, a "trade off" for the league's growth. But the platform will still show games in the USA and Europe.

The PWHL continues to grow. This season that includes broadcasting deals, particularly in Canada. After streaming all games for free last year on YouTube, and producing their own content that was then distributed to outlets like TSN and CBC, this year will see more exclusivity.
