AI is a useful tool (really, it is, when wielded appropriately). But engineers--and PMs, and designers--are being measured on how many hammers they use to build a house, not the quality of the house. And some of the houses they're building are made of hammers.

I have watched so many #PWHL intermission player interviews... I think the one that Liz Schepers just gave was the closest to the prototypical "Pucks in deep, my team mates make me look good, tight series, big twenty minutes coming up" NHL style discussion I have ever seen. 😂😂

The New York Sirens finished up their home schedule last night with 6,273 in attendance for their game against the Toronto Sceptres. This caps a year of significant growth for Sirens crowds at the Prudential Center. Let's dig in:

The Boston Fleet figuring out how to score multiple goals a game is giving real "Oh oh... Happy learned how to putt!" vibes. tenor.com/PP74.gif

Eldridge's third* of the night! *But only two count. Boston Fleet score their first PPG in FOREVER.

That penalty against Tapani was ridiculous. What was she supposed to do? Disappear when Channel Watkins skated into her?

It's Sarah Fillier's world, we're just living in it. #PWHL #NewYorkSirens

Izzy Daniel, clearly raised on The Office... Giving her best Jim Halpert cringe into the camera look when the young player declares they HATE books: cc: @pwhlgoldeneyes.bsky.social

One of the craziest single minutes of hockey I have ever seen: Vancouver Goldeneyes up 3-2 after one on the Minnesota Frost at Grand Casino Arena.

🌟 Player of the Game Sarah Fillier led the way in New York Sirens's 4-3 win over the Minnesota Frost! #PWHL #ThePurpleSheet

📊 BOS vs TOR Single Game Report Direct from #TPSAnalytics Center. #PWHL #ThePurpleSheet

Since the beginning of the Olympics, Aerin Frankel has played 12 games for the United States (5) and the Boston Fleet (7), she has won 11 of them, and has 7 shutouts. She allowed more than one goal in only one game (shoutout Victoire) She has a .975 Save percentage during this stretch. Incredible.

After scoring her first PWHL career goal tonight, Klugey gets the wheel! ☸️

Klugey with her first of the season! BOS: 1 | VAN: 0

6,095 fans came out to Agganis Arena in Boston last night to watch the Boston Fleet host the Toronto Sceptres. This is a new high water mark for a Boston Fleet home game (previous high - 6,032 - 2/16/2025 at Tsongas Center in Lowell).

Bonne nuit 😴

Yesterday's 11,201 crowd at Pacific Coliseum to watch the Ottawa Charge take on the Vancouver Goldeneyes pushes the PWHL regular season attendance past last season's to become the highest attended season so far, in 15 less games than last year's regular season. Sheet has been updated.

Thinking about offering a pronunciation class for WCHA announcers so they can say Adéla Šapovalivová's name... It's rough out there.

Sold out crowd of 10,172 at Place Bell in Laval to watch the Montreal Victoire hosting the Minnesota Frost. This is the third sellout at Place Bell this year. Sheet has been updated.

A sold out crowd of 8,572 at TD Place to watch today's game between the Boston Fleet and the Ottawa Charge. Ottawa's third sellout of the season at TD Place! Sheet has been updated.

Looks like the attendance number has been updated to 17,335! That is a new US attendance record!

17,151 in the house at Climate Pledge Arena for the first home sellout in Seattle Torrent history, as they take on the Toronto Sceptres. Fantastic turnout for Seattle! Sheet has been updated.

Looks like the Seattle Torrent @ Boston Fleet game at Tsongas Center on 3/21 is totally sold out. The box office had added Standing Room Only tickets a few days ago, but those seem to be gone now. Should be a fun day at the rink! Get there early!

Women's hockey fans can dial in their congratulations for the team's Olympic gold medal. Here's how.

3,488 in attendance at the Prudential Center tonight for the Montreal Victoire @ New York Sirens. 729 more than their next highest weeknight number this year, that's > 26% increase. Brings their weeknight average up from 2,459 to 2,717. Sheet has been updated.

Hey UMass Lowell: It's time to update the name on the building and build some statues. Just saying. If you're a goalie and want to win a gold medal for the US at the Olympics, you better find a way to play some home games at Tsongas Center.

You guys remember that time Megan Keller scored an absolutely filthy overtime goal to win the gold medal? That was awesome.

We are now down to 9 total tickets spread over 8 sections... You can no longer buy two seats together! Love it! Great job Crew!

The Boston Fleet look to be VERY close to selling out the TD Garden for their game against the Montreal Victoire in April:

According to the Olympics app, Susanna Tapani is picking up a third sport to dominate in. 😂

SHOOTOUT FRENZY IN BOSTON 💥 Alina Müller scores back-to-back in an eight-round shootout against the Sirens to lift @bostonfleet.com to first place with 30 points!

From the other site (user at badwithnames62, who I think is @badwithnames62.bsky.social here? Probably?) video of Alina Muller's first shootout goal for the Boston Fleet. Absolutely *bonkers*, good-NESS.

11,612 in Denver for the Seattle Torrent and Vancouver Goldeneyes. This brings the annual attendance total to 502,911 over 57 games, for an average of 8,823 per game. Last year it took 69 games to surpass 500k fans. #PWHL #PWHLAttendance #PWhLTakeoverTour

Frost assistant captain Kelly Pannek and forward Taylor Heise opened up their postgame interviews after their 6-2 win, with statements on the recent ICE activity within Minnesota. Here’s what they said.

Kare 11 local news just read, in full, this statement from Michael and Susan Pretti, the parents of Alex Pretti. "Please get the truth out about our son."

With Heated Rivalry & attention on LGBTQ+ inclusion in hockey, I asked a queer hockey pioneer, Montreal Victoire & Canada captain Marie-Philip Poulin, about the importance of inclusion in the PWHL. “You can be who you want to be. You love who you want. And I think that’s the most important thing.”
