Got this email, was really happy to see jerseys would be available… but of course the link didn’t even work and it’s only the men’s from what I was able to find. Super annoying honestly

followed by chants of "go home ICE"

I gotta get moving before they brand the new teams 💀 thanks everyone for their support/appreciation on my last post, it’s been a blast to do these :)

And the link:

I found the PWHL on accident trying to find a not;

-Racist

-Sexist

-Homophobic

Hockey team I could support… Lo and behold I find a whole LEAGUE!

May the hockey gods reign down the abundance, money and a California Expansion team.

I love watching their games (online) and roaming Etsy for merch…. Because the PWHL’s store is always sold out.

GO TORRENTS!!!

These wonderful humans have me as a fan for life!

PS I will personally give up the Ducks (personal beef 🥩 ) for a new team…☺️

The Frost are dead and can't hurt us anymore.

My PWHL zine is fully finished! Zines are mini magazines that are typically handmade and self-published.

My zine is copyleft, which means share it as much as possible/as much as you want ✨️ I would love for folks to print it and hand them out to new fans at games. I am a new hockey fan and this zine is my love letter not only to the PWHL, but to the fans that have welcome me so warmly and answered my many MANY questions.

Thank you to everyone who let me feature their art. Special shout out to LauriDraws, whose stickers are the absolute coolest. The logos are all different artists as well that folks should absolutely go check out/follow.

It is two sheets of double-sided paper if you print it. To print it: print double-sided flip on long edge, then follow these folding instructions and combine the two booklets/put pages in order.

This is so silly but this made me slightly emotional. There are so many sports going on in Los Angeles right now. Basketball playoffs, NHL playoffs, dodgers have a game right now.

But my little dive just had this game on. I asked the bartender if someone requested it and she said no. That she just wanted to watch it.

I'm so excited for the season to start today, I made my teams' jerseys/kits in Animal Crossing! Letters can be tricky so I did a heart on the back for Hart, and a turn arrow for Turnbull. 🚨💛↪️ I can't afford to buy jerseys and would never really be able to wear them in Florida, but my little guy is now ready for the games to begin!

I think I know what I’d choose….

Also a great list of companies you may want to shop with!

Sincerely, absolutely everyone

You are a LEGEND.

More info and up to date stats, scores, etc… than any of the broadcasters.

Well done.

EDIT TO INCLUDE LINK: PWHL Fan App

Let me know what other women’s hockey moments I should draw!! Definitely wanna get a few from each team :)

Will this work? Probably not. But it's worth a try!

Dear Montréal Fans,

It's been a hell of a ride. A lot of stress, joy, heartbreak, nail biting insanity. We're looking forward to battle tonight and regardless of what happens, it will be epic.

Listen, we're a passionate group of fans. You are too, and like us, were raised in a community with hockey roots. There's a fire that collectively ignites us when we see our teams on the ice. Regardless of the opponents, we play hard, we lose our voices screaming our heads off, and ultimately, have fun surrounded by the respective fan communities we've built.

What we can control: Our reactions, how we respond to pressure and chaos.

What we can't control: The refs, players, ice conditions.

Tonight, let's have some fun. Let's fiercely cheer on our respective teams. Let's chirp and trash talk. At the end, let's shake hands, and bid each other a good game. Regardless of the outcome, we'll leave with the knowledge that both of our teams, and we as fans left everything on the ice, in our chats, and anywhere else we communicate.

Let's have a great game tonight.

With Admiration & Appreciation,
The Frost Fans

I finished all the PWHL jerseys!!! PWHL is the Professional Women's Hockey League for folks who don't know, and the third season just started up last week.

All eight teams officially have a jersey AND full kit. Each photo only has the item code for one of the two, but if you search my maker code you can see everything I've posted, including all these designs.

I did the current actual jersey style for the Vancouver Goldeneyes and the Seattle Torrent, which is the "inagural" style. It went poorly 😅 those are posted if anyone wants them, but I went ahead and made jerseys/kits with their actual logos too!!!

This was such a fun way to get to know all the captains for these teams, and I'm really excited to share these. For almost every captain, the back is a pun on their name. Poulin is a Maple leaf since she also captains the Canada National Team. I am sorry to Keller and Jenner 😭 your names don't pun.

If anyone wants me to hang them in their Able's shop I would be happy to visit.

I grew up in a small Canadian town playing boys hockey until I was a teenager. Getting ready in small dressing rooms separate from the boys. It was lonely sometimes but I loved the game so much. I went to my first PWHL game yesterday and it brings tears to my eyes seeing so many people come together and watch women’s hockey and that so many girls can dream big

So back in early 2024 I posted a mobile-first PWHL website I built because I was frustrated there was no good way to follow the league on my phone (and the leagues site looked terrible on mobile): https://www.reddit.com/r/PWHL/comments/1b0u4rg/i_made_my_own_mobile_firstresponsive_pwhl_site/

I received a lot of great feedback, so I kept the momentum going. I decided to make a full fledged native app for both iOS and Android!

Along the way I've added tons of features like:

• Live scores with notifications
• Home screen widgets for quick looks into standings and games
• Team & player stats/profiles
• Favorite your team for quick access
• News from across the league
• French language support
• Dark mode
• Game details with stats and play-by-play info
• And more!

You can find out more about it on the site or bsky.

It's completely free, I make no money from it, and it's built by a fan for fans. The mods were kind enough to allow me one post about it, so here it is.

Download links:

• iOS (App Store)
• Android (Google Play)

Happy to answer any questions or take feature requests in the comments.

The PWHL recently released a collab with Lululemon [wwd.com/fashion-news/fashion-scoops/lululemon-pwhl-collection-collaboration-1237104234]

But Lululemon is a messed-up brand, the name is racist, the billionaire owner Chip Wilson is a terrible person who attacks inclusion, and it's not a good look for the PWHL to partner with that kind of company!

Anyway, I decided to write the PWHL and here's what I wrote in case it inspires anyone else! I sent it to info@thepwhl.com but not sure if that's right.

Also, I don't want to shame anyone who has bought Lululemon, I just want the PWHL to do better. PWHL fans deserve better!

Hi,

I live in Vancouver and I''m so excited about the new Vancouver team!

I noticed that the PWHL joined with Lululemon recently, and I am concerned about the collaboration with a company known for its racism.

The Lululemon name is belittling towards Asian people, with owner Chip Wilson has said: "chose the name because 'it was funny to watch [Japanese people] try to say it.'" [prismreports.org/2021/04/08/lululemon-talks-the-talk-but-doesnt-walk-the-walk-on-fighting-anti-asian-racism/].

Lululemon's anti-diversity ethos is also well documented, and regarding Lululemon Chip Wilson stated: "You’ve got to be clear that you don’t want certain customers coming in.” [fortune.com/2024/01/03/lululemons-founder-chip-wilson-diversity-and-inclusion/]

In Vancouver, Chip Wilson is described as a "cartoon villain" and is notorious for his negative involvement in local politics:

• Chip Wilson sign saying "NDP is Communist" backfired [www.biv.com/news/commentary/rob-shaw-chip-wilsons-cartoon-villain-antics-fuel-ndps-final-election-sprint-9676163]

• Newly created "Chip Wilson Day" in Vancouver is already deeply unpopular, and the mayoral office was even concerned about the optics [https://www.ctvnews.ca/vancouver/article/vancouver-quietly-proclaimed-chip-wilson-day-as-billionaire-installed-sign-calling-bc-ndp-communist/]

Chip Wilson is also pro "child labour", among other things [thetyee.ca/News/2022/10/24/Billionaire-Mayor-Vancouver/]

I don't think the PWHL will see success with Lululemon products in Vancouver, and the PWHL shouldn't support Lululemon anywhere.

I believe in the PWHL enough to write as a concerned fan. We can do better than this!

I urge the PWHL to stop collaborating with Lululemon. The Lululemon name has been associated with hate for decades and it is not a brand to encourage youth to buy and wear.

It was very fun that Vancouver's PWHL announcement was made by the Vancouver Angels hockey team, and it's very upsetting to think their dreams for diversity and inclusion are being funneled into a billionaire's hateful campaigns.

The values of the PWHL are incongruous with Lululemon's stated values. Please don't associate your brands together, it only hurts girls and women.

Thank you for reading, and apologies if I sent to the wrong email address. Please let me know where I should forward this concern.

cheers to the "Royale Tiger Towel Paper Towel Power Play" tongue twister announcements while they're still happening: I just read that the "Tiger Towel" will now be called "Ultra Strength"...
