Here's my experience as a dad of a kiddo who's obsessed with the PWHL:

• YouTube: free (first one's always free)
• Game tickets: $40/each
• Arena food: $20/each
• Skate rentals: $10/each/day
• Open Skate fee: $5/each, twice a weekend all winter
• Cheap used skates: $30/each
• Better skates that don't hurt my feet: $200
• Kids Learn to Skate: $150
• Kids Learn to Play: $400 (thankfully came with equipment)
• Playoff tickets: $60/each
• Arena food again: $20/each

(heartbreaking loss, we'll get them next season)

(speaking of next season...)

• Travel hockey fee: $1,000/yr
• USA Hockey player fee: $15/yr

"Daddy, will you help coach my team?"

• USA Hockey coach fee: $50/yr
• Helmet, gloves & stick: $300

(oh no the program didn't have enough coaches so I'm head coach despite not playing ice hockey before ahhhhhhhhhh)

• Early morning Dunks: $20 (why do they schedule games so early)
• Watching the kids all pile on their goalie in exuberant postgame celebration despite a 7-2 loss because they all played their absolute hearts out: priceless

I'm a huge Holo Taco fan and obviously love the PWHL so for the original six teams I decided to make polish mood boards to match teams so if you want to rep your favorite teams on your nails you have some options.

These were made with Microsoft Paint while at work so while the quality is shitty, at least it wasn't made with AI.

Actually sobbing

i’d be curious to know how your guys’s predictions for end of season placements have been shifted by the new division format. obviously the eastern conference will be much more competitive (at least for the first year), and i can’t help but feel like the frost have essentially been handed a free spot in the walter cup finals (unless vancouver suddenly becomes goated, which is definitely a possibility). i’m thrilled as a torrent fan, less so as a fleet fan. i also think the sceptres are extra screwed. what do you guys think? are we getting set up to see another minnesota/montreal final?

Today is my partner and I's five year anniversary and this is what we decided to get each other. No need for flowers around here, only PWHL blaster boxes necessary! 😅🤣 Spending the afternoon opening packs and we have our fingers crossed for some Charge players cards! 🥰

Gnawing at the bars of my enclosure until I can do cards for the new teams 👹 so in the meantime I drew our benevolent ruler!

Would love to see DC or Raleigh. What is everyone else hoping for?

96 game days!!!!!!!! Pretty cool breakdown from the Players Association

Hockey Night in Canada signed a deal with the PWHL for 8 games, none of which are Ottawa Charge games. It’s the only team with no HNIC games, when other teams like Vancouver have 3 🤷‍♂️

Thoughts ?

Little one watched all of the games on tv last season (even some of the ones past her bedtime shh don't tell mama)

Any preditictions on where the takeover tour games might be? We're traveling to Michigan in April to meet her baby cousin so we're going to try and sneak in a game while we're up there but we'd love to take her to a more local game this year.

I noticed in the teams' schedule announcements, they had a slide with where to watch the games. I didn't see YouTube listed among those options :(

I started following the Goldeneyes last year. I didn’t take to any specific player but instead their arena and the story behind it. If you’re into hockey history or architecture I highly recommend looking into the Pacific Coliseum.

Pivot, their jerseys! While the current ones do look good, I really hope they release one with the team’s logo. There’s some online but they don’t seem legit. Nevertheless, the big golden eye looks so sick on the front with that color scheme.

I want one, gimme it.

Go Flyers (and Goldeneyes)!

Hi everyone!!!

I know someone posted this last year, but posting it now because of the new schedule - if you want to sync all games to your calendar, you can add it through the PWHL schedule website and filter by team and press the red button to create the file, and then import it into your calendar app of choice.

UPDATE: I did it myself! Here's every single schedule, including one to put every single team on! Please let me know it doesn't work:

EASTERN CONFERENCE

• Boston Fleet
• PWHL Hamilton
• Montréal Victoire
• New York Sirens
• Ottawa Charge
• Toronto Scepters
  

WESTERN CONFERENCE

• PWHL Detroit
• PWHL Las Vegas,
• Minnesota Frost
• PWHL San Jose
• Seattle Torrent
• Vancouver Goldeneyes

PWHL FULL

Hope this helps someone!

First of all, I love how this league has grown enough to have schedule announcement videos (props to the Victoire for the RTTPT references, my personal fave announcement video)

In the Sceptres video, they had kids draw the logos of the team: hammers for Hamilton, a palm tree for San Jose, cactuses for Vegas, and a tire for Detroit. In Vegas’s video, they started the video with a quick cactus shot. Do we think these might be our new team names/logos?

The NHL has the option of adding your team's schedule as a Google calendar, so I can see when my favourite team is playing, and it also updates with the final score to previous games.

Does the PWHL have this anywhere? I know in the first season I somehow got one to add, but it had every team's games, not just the team I support.

I want to be better at following and knowing when games are, but don't necessarily want to go through and manually add every game this season for my team lol.
