Yeah not a good look. Too many cooks in the kitchen. Isobel Stanley is the role model they need…

i just saw someone retracted a story (re: the MN PWHL) not because it was false but because they wanted to give the league a little time to comment. anyone have any ideas what that's about?

Depends on which media outlet was strong-armed into a retraction. If Minny local then it was a double-team by the Boris & Natasha of the PWHL (Klee & Coyne-Schofield). If it was a national media story it's another example of the League's span-of-control over North American sports media, most likely at the behest of Her Royal Highness Billie Jean King.

hmmm they're looking for a new GM. Wonder how many prospective GMs out there are going to want to be subservient to Klee.

OR ... The League is reenforcing their separate GM-coach structure, for the primary purpose of putting a person in the slot whose first task is to fire Klee. Then KC-S will have a decision to make regarding her next career move. This is all a classic power struggle situation, and the optics get sharper on the future of the League the longer the bad actors are allowed to hold the stage.

A PWHL-adjacent feature series from the staff @ The Ice Garden, offering a "Top 25 Under 25" list of women's hockey players for some light summer reading material. I'll add more entries to this post as TIG continues their countdown, which started with a refresher for previous followers & a primer for new readers ...

2024 Top 25 Under 25 Community Ballot
Michelle Jay
Jun 24, 2024

... It's been a few years since we've done this offseason exercise so let's refresh your memories (or fill you in if you're new!). Each offseason, TIG's writers and some of our peers in the women's hockey media space rank the top 25 players under the age of 25. Why? Because its kind of fun.

From there, we open(ed) up a ballot for our community to get a say! But rather than an open ended question, the community ballot is limited to players who appeared on two or more media ballots. This year that comes out to 46 players you can rank 1 through 25, with one being the top spot. ...

On The Hot Seat: One Player From Each PWHL Team Who Might Be Feeling The Summer Heat

With the summer heat here, several players in the PWHL are also sitting on the hot seat as they prepare for next season with something to prove or a place to earn.

IAN KENNEDY
1 HOUR AGO (17 July 2024)

We're still months away from the 2024-2025 PWHL season, but as rosters begin to take shape, it becomes more clear what players will be fighting for roster spots, and who will enter next year on the hot seat, with something to prove. The summer heat is here, and several players may be feeling the heat as they train in preparation for next year.

Here's a look at one player from each of the PWHL's six teams who sit on the hot seat this offseason. ...
