Apropos, the best election postmortem I’ve read dropped today. It’s also more than a postmortem; it’s a deeper long-term analysis, and quite compelling.

The article is by @eladn.bsky.social and well worth the long read.

No no, say more king

For the upcoming PWHL, I created some roster projections based on quantified player performance. Read the methodology and see the pretty plots in the article: www.theicegarden.com/pwhl-roster-...

Posted this over on the old hellsite but for the women's hockey people over here I made a spreadsheet of the PWHL draft eligible players. Let me know if you find errors so I can fix them! docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

The new PWHL collective bargaining agreement is on the league website. I'm gonna dig into it later but here it is for your reading pleasure.

I believe the 6 locations tomorrow for the PWHL will be
Boston
Toronto
Montreal
Minnesota
Washington DC
New York/New Jersey
If the branding isn't kept from the Pride, Whitecaps, and Rivs, that's an absolute failure by leadership. The Force and Six are slightly newer, so I could justify those going.

i know there's a lot of excitement around the new women's hockey league, but i just struggle to get onboard with an ownership group who basically pretended to be both a partner and competitor w/ both the PWHPA and PHF to lock in a sweetheart CBA under the guise of progress.

For SELF, I highlighted the trans kids who don’t make the news, whose stories might go otherwise unheard: the ones who are already out there playing on teams with their friends, winning and losing without incident.
