Hilary Knight Returns to Team USA, PWHL Gets a TV Deal & New York + Vancouver Season 4 Previews (opens the original)
Read excerpt
NOTE: An earlier version of this episode implied Tereza Vanizova was no longer with the Vancouver Goldeneyes. Season 4 is almost here — and this episode opens with breaking news. As Erica L. Ayala and Rachel Donner were recording, USA Hockey dropped its 31-player training camp roster with a familiar name on it: Hilary Knight, listed as playing for PWHL Detroit. Erica confirmed with USA Hockey in real time — Knight is expected at both camps: the first runs September 13–19 in Minnesota, and the se
PWHL Deep Dive: Minnesota Frost & Toronto Sceptres Season 3 Recap| Plus Mark Walter & Stan Kasten Statement (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Black Rosie Media got a statement from the PWHL — and Erica L. Ayala and Rachel Donner open by breaking it down word by word. Stan Kasten says the league will "continue to operate with the same long-term outlook," but says nothing about the ten-year funding plan, nothing about the risks of single-entity ownership, and nothing about what Mark Walter's federal investigation actually means for the PWHL's future. Erica was also quoted in an NBC News piece on the subject, and player agents anonymousl

Read excerpt
The Mark Walter Group is selling the Lakers — and Erica L. Ayala and Rachel Donner open with what that means for the PWHL. With Walter's sports portfolio unwinding fast (Lakers sold, Dodgers potentially next, LA Sparks future uncertain), the question the league still hasn't answered is whether the original ten-year funding commitment still holds. The PWHL hasn't commented. Erica and Rachel break down what we know, what we don't, and why the silence itself is part of the story. Then it's into the

Read excerpt
The PWHL offseason just got a lot more complicated. Erica L. Ayala and Rachel Donner open with the news that can't be ignored: the Mark Walter Group — majority owner of the PWHL — is under federal investigation for loan fraud, with the U.S. Attorney's Office and FBI both involved. Erica and Rachel break down what we know, what we don't, and what history tells us about what happens to women's leagues when the money behind them comes under scrutiny. Then it's Vancouver's turn in the spotlight. Car
The PWHL Has 12 Teams Now — Does That Mean Conferences, New Playoffs & Bigger Arenas? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The PWHL offseason is back in motion — and Erica L. Ayala and Rachel Donner have a lot of ground to cover. First up: with twelve teams now in the league, should the PWHL move to a conference structure? Erica and Rachel break down what conferences would actually mean for travel, playoffs, and the all-star format — and why the more pressing question might be what a twelve-team postseason even looks like. Then it's a full arena capacity rundown for Season 4, including two teams moving to new homes.
