As we all expected, the announcement today is officially an announcement of a PWHL team in Detroit. The team will play at Little Ceasars Arena

PWHL just sent out a press advisory that they will be making an announcement about expansion tomorrow at 10 am et via live stream on their YouTube page and website

fyi it started this week!

icymi: I set up an account to mirror the Ottawa Charge twitter account and post all the stuff the official Charge account doesn't share on here 🫡

LAST TO THIRD!!!! THE #30 DUQUEINE LEAD THE CHAMPIONSHIP!

The 2026 PWHL playoffs officially begin tonight with a goalie battle in Boston. Then, No. 1 Montreal plays the two-time defending champion Minnesota Frost. Here’s everything you need to know — the schedule, odds and storylines — for free @theathletic.com www.nytimes.com/athletic/724...

I don’t really care about Pluto’s planethood. I *do* care about consistency in nomenclature, and about decisions being based on empirical facts rather than personal feelings. And since so much of this debate is driven by feelings rather than facts, it’s tedious and distasteful. Enough already!

1) There's no reason an administrator at NASA should care how a Solar System body is categorized. 2) NASA isn't the org that makes classification determinations for Solar System objects. 3) If Isaacman wants Pluto reclassified again, he can lobby the International Astronomical Union on his own time.

I'm always on the lookout for women's hockey creators to follow, learn from, and potentially collaborate with as TIG's Editor in Chief. Please let me know some of your favorites (journalists, analysts, must-follow accounts, podcasts, artists, etc) especially if they are new(er) to the scene!

Control is the most valuable thing in the PWHL. Both the Montreal Victoire and Vancouver Goldeneyes emerged with a bit of it after the regular season. My story for CBC Sports: www.cbc.ca/sports/hocke...

None of the stories I've read today have addressed women's hockey - specifically that the DIII conference they're moving to does not sponsor women's hockey.

I was at the announcement today for Columbus' addition to the NWSL. Learn about the announcement, the local battle between politicians and a key absence in the crowd today at ScottsMiracle-Gro Field. Now on @theixsports.bsky.social www.theixsports.com/the-ix-socce...

The Lyrid meteor shower is expected to peak, or reach its maximum activity, on Wednesday around 4 p.m. ET, during daylight hours for much of North America, according to the American Meteor Society.

I knew the PWHL draft this year was going to be deep, but I'm finally taking a look at the NCAA/SDHL stats for this year and uh, I really don't think we're going to have to worry about expansion diluting talent

@ mercedes I would pay money to be in the grandstands for this!!!

This week on the show, I’m joined by Robert Morris University captain Alaina Giampietro to talk about her journey from her grandfather’s rink to leading a program’s relaunch and building the foundation of the future. Episode 119 is available now: www.rinksiderundown.ca/p/alaina-gia...

So much of this stuff also applies to people who travel with the team too! I routinely feel for all of the trainers, coaches, PR people, and other support staff that get handed similar stacks of W2s

Due to his importance to American society as a whole, underrated as an actual baseball player. 64 bWAR after the age of 28, led the league 3 times. Probably in the GOAT conversation with Mays, Aaron, and Bonds if he gets a full career in the Majors. Also, baseball was his 4th best sport in college.

This paper contains more detailed modelling of the impact of Reflect Orbital's space mirrors than anything I've seen from Reflect Orbital itself. At this point it's unclear if Reflect Orbital have done anything beyond back of the envelope calculations when it comes to performance and impact.

The astronauts on Artemis II observed parts of the moon humans had never seen before. Their findings provide a scientific baseline — and sense of wonder — for future missions. n.pr/4cdG475

The Moon: oh wow you guys decided to come back Artemis II crew: earth’s haunted

Whoa 🤯 The Moon, in full eclipse, with the #Artemis II Orion spacecraft. Part of the Moon and spacecraft are lit by Earthshine, and both Saturn and Mars are visible to the lower right. Incredible. Details: images.nasa.gov/details/art0...

I am super geeking out over these new Artemis photos. The “Earthrise” is crazy. Flat earthers are in shambles.

And the Sun is about to come out on the other side, at the end of the solar eclipse! #Artemis

Total solar eclipse! Solar corona! From behind the Moon! #Artemis

This is the face of a lunar scientist who has just been told that the #Artemis II crew saw SEVERAL impact flashes (the flashes when meteors hit the lunar surface) in real time 😃 🌓💥

Magical moment at the ballpark. 🌈

"Orion, the Moon, and the Earth. EVERYONE, in that picture" - #Artemis II Mission Control.

Charon and the Moon look similar for similar reasons! Ancient surfaces (pockmarked and gray) that show geologic evidence for a semi-global volcanism event that happened after the heaviest part of impact history, and filled lowland areas with smooth plains -- liquid rock for the Moon, water on Charon

Re-reading a @hockeyviz.com article on adjusted possession metrics from 2014 (!!) and more recent work, and running into something I think is interesting. Score effects may behave differently across levels of sport. Some preliminary work from Canadian women’s college hockey…

Three years ago I was at a Beauts game with a 500 person attendance. The growth that this sport has seen is incredible

Fantastic article from @nataliarak.tgirl.gay! www.theixsports.com/the-ice-gard...

18,006 in attendance. History.

How can you not get romantic about women's hockey? Multiple kiss cams. All with roars of joy and celebration. 💜

FYI, this gallery has all the photos NASA is sharing from Artemis II in one place, with descriptions.

THE best logo in sports

Cool opportunity for women’s para ice hockey fans in the Ottawa area (or who are open to travelling). Canada and the US will play a three game Frontier Series starting April 10th at the Richcraft Sensplex. It’s a free event and will be a really great time, so check it out.

Brynäs defeated reigning titleholders Frölunda HC for their first SDHL title in a thrilling three-game sweep. www.theixsports.com/the-ice-gard...

I wore my Boston Pride sweatshirt to a PWHL watch party today and got asked what team it was for 😭 it made my heart hurt

another banner day for "if you didn't know sports were real, ESPN headlines would be crazy"

genuine question, as I've only been in F1 for 6 months and haven't watched many of the archived qualifier rounds: has there historically been more movement up and down the board during qualifying than there is now?

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.

Congratulations to friends of the show Ena Nystrøm and Emma Bergesen, along with their teammates, on winning the SDHL Championship!

Guys Brynäs (SDHL) just won their first title!!

very satisfying sports night for me personally, I gotta say

BOILER UP 🚂🚂🚂🚂🚂🚂

My resignation letter

I agree 100% with Steven Vickers that authors will be falsely accused of using AI in the coming years. In particular, authors like myself whose works were stolen to train AI systems are at risk. When we write in our own unique styles, AI trained on us will quite likely flag us as using AI.
