LTL Quick Hits Volume 3: Talkin' about the PWHL with Cheryl Pounder
Welcome to another episode of Ladies Talkin’ Leafs Quick Hits! It’s Patio Season and we hope everyone is having a great summer!
In this instalment we revisit episode 5 from earlier this season where we welcomed former Olympian, as well as Hockey Analyst and Broadcaster Cheryl Pounder to discuss the Professional Women's Hockey League (PWHL) and the excitement surrounding its inaugural season. Cheryl highlighted several of the teams and players to watch out for, including players like Carla McLeod and Brianne Jenner from Ottawa, Alina Mueller from Boston, and Marie-Philippe Poulin from Montreal. She also mentioned the depth of talent in the league, with players coming from college and showcasing their skills. Cheryl was the perfect guest to have on to showcase the League for us, and after speaking with her, we could hardly wait for the PWHL season to start. A few months later, we now know that the league definitely came as advertised and we could not be happier with the visibility and growth that women's hockey has seen over this season. Next season is sure to be every bit as exciting and we encourage everyone to support the teams and watch the games.
We hope you enjoyed this Quick Hit. While its been a little quiet on the Leaf front of late, its almost time to prep for pre-season, We'll be back on August 7th with the latest from Leaf Land, and around the NHL. Hope you'll join us. Go Leafs Go!
