The #WELeague has released its 24-25 season summary. It's all in Japanese but lots of good insight into the league's successes and how it's trying to build.

Could this be a new marketing opportunity for condiment companies? ๐Ÿ˜‰

Impressed to see the CWHL reference! Thatโ€™s context not a lot of people covering the game would have.

Nils Nielsen's vision for Nadeshiko Japan comes to life at SheBelieves Cup The remarkable achievement has brought about a renewed optimism among the fanbase, as Japan seems ready to turn the page after years of perceived underperformance.

๐Ÿ‡ฏ๐Ÿ‡ต ๐Ÿ† The triumph at #SheBelieves is commendable in itself, but what did it tell us about Nielsenโ€™s vision for Nadeshiko Japan?

โœ๏ธ In my latest for @JapanTimes.co.jp I examine the key takeaways from a superbly well managed campaign.

Weโ€™re starting to see different sentiments emerging though. I was proud of the signature style women developed since moving away from the 80s badassery. Both have merits but also different implications for injuries, parent support, youth participation, perceptions & marketability.

The PWHL hasnโ€™t reached the 80s style of womenโ€™s full contact hitting & fighting yet (my prime) but they probably shouldnโ€™t let it go that far. If profitability, fan support & healthy players are objectives that is.

Itโ€™s finally GAME DAY! ๐Ÿ’๐Ÿฅ… Been waiting months for this & the 18,000+ sold out Rogers Place is going to be wild!

So excited for this & judging from chatter, thereโ€™ll probably be generations of Edmonton Chimos in the house. Players from the barnstorming 1970s to the CWHL in the 2010s. Weโ€™ll all be watching our dreams unfold at Rogers Place today!

Welcome to Edmonton!! Special greetings to Carla MacLeod, Emerance Maschmeyer, Danielle Serdachny & Stephanie Markowski. Super excited to have them come home to the Edmonton region this way. Go Charge! ๐Ÿ’ช

Thanks, I love Carla MacLeod and will look for that! As an aside, I found out my teammate Sharon purchased two Charge season tickets last year just to support the team & travelled from Edmonton a few times to see games!

๐Ÿ™Œ Iโ€™ve missed Ottawa since moving back west in 1990. Thatโ€™s a big reason the Charge has been my team from the start! Excited to watch them live at Sundayโ€™s #PWHL Takeover Tour game with some former Edmonton Chimos ๐Ÿ†teammates. We are manyโ€”1970s to 2010s. BTW, Shirley Cameron for the ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆHHOF!! ๐Ÿ’ ๐Ÿฅ…

This is exciting! Wonder if weโ€™ll be able to watch broadcasts or streams in North America ๐Ÿค”

The Oldest Living Olympic Champion Survived the Holocaust, WWII, and Now the Pandemic รgnes Keletiโ€”who celebrated her 100th birthday this yearโ€”has a message for us all: Keep working.

The legendary รgnes Keleti ๐Ÿ‡ญ๐Ÿ‡บ, who survived the Holocaust and went on to win five Olympic titles during the 1950s, has died a week shy of her 104th birthday. May she rest in peace. ๐Ÿ•Š๏ธ

Thanks for surfacing this piece of CWHL & womenโ€™s hockey lore. Really felt for her then but delighted she gets to experience the place in a much better way today ๐Ÿ˜Š

The point made in the article about the myriad impacts of venue ownership and/or primary tenancy has parallels across other womenโ€™s pro sports & in different ways at amateur levels #womenssports

The NWSL championship had TWICE as many viewers as the MLS championship!

Women's sports are sprinting ahead of men's sports.
In the future, no one will believe the nonsense the trolls were saying in the early 21st century!

Many think that womenโ€™s hockey has been no contact but it was always allowed in battling for the puckโ€”hitting is new. As part of an earlier generation who played body checking, Iโ€™m watching the pendulum swing back with reservations. I hope the free flowing style of hockey that women developed stays.

Lopusanova added a touch of spice to her 4 goal, 1 assist total. Just 16 years of age & already a 2026 Wisconsin commit ๐Ÿ˜Ž

๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ ATHLETE OF THE YEAR

Hereโ€™s the moment Summer McIntosh received the phone call letting her know sheโ€™s the Northern Star winner as Canadaโ€™s athlete of the year.

And she wins it on the night she broke the world record for gold and then won bronze with her team on the relay.
