Speaker 3: out a team at The olympics, stage and that's so

311
00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:25,840
Speaker 3: fun for. Anyone so this ALSO i think allows sort

312
00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:28,480
Speaker 3: of the scores to be a little bit more balanced

313
00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:28,920
Speaker 3: across the.

314
00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:33,560
Speaker 1: Board, yeah is there anything that you learned from calling

315
00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:35,600
Speaker 1: The olympics before that you'll lose this use this?

316
00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:38,760
Speaker 3: Year, Well i'm doing it, remote which is really. Hard

317
00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:42,280
Speaker 3: some of my games will be live from the studio

318
00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:44,760
Speaker 3: and some will be live from you, know Actually. Milan

319
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:49,160
Speaker 3: i'll split my. Time BUT i think, overall just one

320
00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:51,400
Speaker 3: thing that's different for The olympics compared to maybe the

321
00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:55,800
Speaker 3: pros or N cuaa that you have a regular following of,

322
00:15:56,480 --> 00:16:00,400
Speaker 3: fans is people are learning these, players these, teams these

323
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:03,360
Speaker 3: storylines for the first and maybe only. Time and so

324
00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:06,320
Speaker 3: my job is broadcasters to bring kind of that, flavor

325
00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:09,760
Speaker 3: that outside, perspective that human. Interest So i'm really gonna

326
00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:11,360
Speaker 3: try to lean and get as much of that AS

327
00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:12,160
Speaker 3: i can to share with the.

328
00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:14,440
Speaker 1: Audience so even when you're In, milan you'll be in

329
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:16,400
Speaker 1: a studio watching from.

330
00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:18,440
Speaker 3: There yeah, wow that's.

331
00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:20,280
Speaker 1: Wild, Okay but you'll be In, milan so you could

332
00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:23,280
Speaker 1: potentially get some of the storylines of talking to players

333
00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:26,200
Speaker 1: and getting some of that color around it before the

334
00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:26,840
Speaker 1: games you have a.

335
00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:28,760
Speaker 3: Chance, yeah And i'm gonna try to call as many

336
00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:31,680
Speaker 3: players THAT i know and you, know connect to some in.

337
00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:35,680
Speaker 3: Advance it's hard you know there's a there's a language barrier.

338
00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:38,840
Speaker 3: Too think About Team, japan Who i'd love to. PROMOTE

339
00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:41,840
Speaker 3: i don't Speak, japanese So i'm gonna be relying on

340
00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:45,560
Speaker 3: whatever their teams are able to. Provide so there's a

341
00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:48,760
Speaker 3: little bit of a bias in terms of Like english for.

342
00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:52,800
Speaker 3: Me but the primary audience, here obviously is NBC's audience

343
00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:53,000

Speaker 3: on that, stage opening the world's eyes up to women's.

464
00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:34,960
Speaker 3: Hockey you, know no one knew, it knew it, existed

465
00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:37,119
Speaker 3: and doing it in a way that we weren't favored to.

466
00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:39,640
Speaker 3: Win we'd never be In canada in a major, tournament

467
00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:42,879
Speaker 3: so to do it at that. Stage AND i Remember

468
00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:45,760
Speaker 3: cammy who was a legendary, captain and she went On

469
00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:48,560
Speaker 3: David letterman and we were on the wheaties box and

470
00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:50,840
Speaker 3: we were, like we were the it girls in Those.

471
00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:53,320
Speaker 3: Olympics and that's not what we were trying to. Do

472
00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:55,359
Speaker 3: we were just trying to play hockey and win a hockey.

473
00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:58,440
Speaker 3: Game but the effect that it have, after, like that's

474
00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:01,200
Speaker 3: crazy to think what we, did you, know all those years.

475
00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:04,639
Speaker 3: Ago so the team itself is WHAT i remember the

476
00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:05,840
Speaker 3: most and that's WHAT i take with.

477
00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:08,679
Speaker 1: Me it's also wild to think. About you're, right no

478
00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:12,200
Speaker 1: matter whether you're the still high school kid Or Camby,

479
00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:15,840
Speaker 1: granado is this legend or anyone on that. Team there's

480
00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:19,200
Speaker 1: of course a little bit of a cast system based

481
00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:22,720
Speaker 1: on age and, experience but none of you had ever

482
00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:26,200
Speaker 1: experienced The. Olympics that's wild to think, About like it

483
00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:28,679
Speaker 1: is so very rare on any team to not have

484
00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:32,119
Speaker 1: the veterans be able to tell the younger players and

485
00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:33,800
Speaker 1: then this is how you prep for, This and then

486
00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:35,280
Speaker 1: this is going to, happen and we're going to do.

487
00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:37,200
Speaker 1: This so to be a part of the very first

488
00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:38,760
Speaker 1: is really. Cool you. Know you mentioned though that you

489
00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:42,080
Speaker 1: had these pop culture moments that you broke through because

490
00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:45,080
Speaker 1: of winning it all being the. First the amount of

491
00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:47,560
Speaker 1: media coverage back, then, though was not. Great in ninety,

492
00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:50,440
Speaker 1: EIGHT cbs aired just one game from the women's tournament

493
00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:52,680
Speaker 1: gold medal, game and even that wasn't the whole. Game

494
00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:53,960
Speaker 1: they only aired part of.

495
00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:54,160
Speaker 2: It.

496
00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:56,600
Speaker 1: First do you remember getting home from the games and

497
00:23:56,640 --> 00:23:59,040
Speaker 1: hearing from folks whether they were actually able to watch

498

Speaker 1: you or, not or whether they were able to see the.

499
00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:04,560
Speaker 3: Game, yeah it was like five or six in the

500
00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:08,560
Speaker 3: morning with the time. Difference so actually. Choke you mentioned

501
00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:12,359
Speaker 3: choked my school. Again the headmaster gave everyone to school

502
00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:17,639
Speaker 3: that day off, sick but opened the auditorium basically our

503
00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:20,560
Speaker 3: art center and aired the. Game so everyone got up

504
00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:22,560
Speaker 3: super early and watched it. Live because you had to

505
00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:23,520
Speaker 3: watch it, live you don't.

00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:28,879
Speaker 1: watch that's so.

509
00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:32,280

511
00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:39,000

512
00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:41,639
Speaker 3: Play even, now they're, like were you a? Goaliet you

00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:47,240
Speaker 3: know my young. Kids i'm, like, NO i actually. Played

515
00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:51,000
Speaker 3: there's just not that digital history of that era of hockey.

516
00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:53,359
Speaker 3: Players you Mentioned Cammi, granada one of the best, Ever,

517
00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:55,800
Speaker 3: like probably very few people have ever even seen her

518
00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:58,840
Speaker 3: play or seen myself, Play so it's a little it's

519
00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:01,480
Speaker 3: a little bit. Different BUT I i think breaking through

520
00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:04,639
Speaker 3: and you know Again letterman and being in in all the.

521
00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:07,160
Speaker 3: Newspapers we were at the front of The New York.

522
00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:09,880
Speaker 3: Times people at least heard of. Hockey they're, like, oh

523
00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:13,359
Speaker 3: women play. Hockey oh there's a there's a college. System

524
00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:17,560
Speaker 3: oh there's a national team you could play. For That

525
00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:20,320

526
00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:21,800
Speaker 3: OKAY i want to SIGN i want to do, that.

527
00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:25,560

528
00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:29,760

530
00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:35,960
Speaker 3: second two were in full N. Cuba so that was

531
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:39,560
Speaker 3: really like the two thousands had a monumental shift in

532
00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:42,399
Speaker 3: terms of mainstreaming women's. Hockey but it started with that

533
00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:42,960

554
00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:46,960

555
00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:48,560
Speaker 3: Just to enjoy. It, HONESTLY i find and even AS

556
00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:50,520
Speaker 3: i got into my third and Fourth olympics AND i

557
00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:54,200
Speaker 3: was now the, veteran like enjoy, it but be. Present

558
00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:57,160
Speaker 3: so on the one, hand if you're a player that's

559
00:26:57,680 --> 00:26:59,480
Speaker 3: in your head a, lot like try to be, present

560
00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:03,399
Speaker 3: try to have. Fun that's you earned your. Spot and

561
00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:06,639
Speaker 3: on the other, hand like expect. Distractions so when you

562
00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:09,600
Speaker 3: get you, know you're so enamored by everything around, you

563
00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:11,320
Speaker 3: you gotta like you gotta rein it. In so it

564
00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:13,480
Speaker 3: depends on who you are as a. Player i've seen

565
00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:16,040
Speaker 3: some go in with like tons of, nerves and those

566
00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:18,080
Speaker 3: are the Players i'm, like let's go have a dance

567
00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:20,919
Speaker 3: party and like lighten. Up and then there's players that

568
00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:23,520
Speaker 3: are so dialed. In i'm, like, hey take a, breathe

569
00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:26,879
Speaker 3: look around, you, like relax a. Little we're gonna be.

570
00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:29,480

571
00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:32,360
Speaker 1: IS i am one of my good friends from high.

572
00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:34,639
Speaker 1: School one of my teammates was An olympic poll, vaulter

573
00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:37,439
Speaker 1: and everyone would get so confused because when she was,

574
00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:41,440
Speaker 1: competing she would have a stack of magazines Like Marie, Claire, cosmo,

575
00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:43,280
Speaker 1: whatever and she would just sit and read. Them she

576
00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:45,880
Speaker 1: wouldn't watch anyone else. Jump she would wait till she's

577
00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:47,919
Speaker 1: about to, go put her magazine, down go. Jump and

578
00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:49,199
Speaker 1: that was just the way she had to do.

579
00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:52,760
Speaker 3: It it's, funny, though in a hockey locker, room you

580
00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:55,560
Speaker 3: can kind of sense who people. Are LIKE i was

581

Speaker 1: past THAT us And canadian players would not even get

647
00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:18,360
Speaker 1: on the same elevator as each other in the, past

648
00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:21,360

Speaker 1: us And canada are playing together on. Teams do you

651
00:31:28,040 --> 00:31:29,880
Speaker 1: think it will have an effect on The olympics in

652
00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:31,040
Speaker 1: terms of the vibes out.

653

Speaker 3: THERE i think it's. DEFINITELY i see more. RESPECT i

654
00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:39,280
Speaker 3: think now with that we've had TO us And canada

655
00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:41,680
Speaker 3: had to work together to, get you, know to elevate the.

656
00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:44,320
Speaker 3: Game BUT i think you're still gonna HAVE i, Mean

657
00:31:44,360 --> 00:31:47,040
Speaker 3: i'd stand a little taller on the. Elevator you. Know

658
00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:50,200
Speaker 3: you you're trying to get your inches wherever you, can.

659
00:31:50,880 --> 00:31:54,200
Speaker 3: Wherever that is so and every team wants to, win

660
00:31:54,280 --> 00:31:58,000
Speaker 3: Even caro And julie like they wanted to beat each.

661
00:31:58,040 --> 00:32:02,160
Speaker 3: OTHER i saw, that you, know going. Light so there's

662
00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:05,720
Speaker 3: it's it's shifted a bit BECAUSE i think the collaboration

663
00:32:05,920 --> 00:32:08,600
Speaker 3: has been amazing to see and how you, know who

664
00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:10,840
Speaker 3: cares what border you're. On we're trying to grow the.

665
00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:14,120
Speaker 3: Game but believe, me when when the puck drops In,

666
00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:16,680
Speaker 3: milan everything will be on the, line and that's what

667
00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:19,920
Speaker 3: you're playing. For like the intensity and the success of

668
00:32:19,960 --> 00:32:23,440
Speaker 3: that tournament will dictate are those players going to make more,

669
00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:27,200
Speaker 3: money be have an opportunity when they're. Done just have that.

670
00:32:27,280 --> 00:32:30,880
Speaker 3: Pride so, yeah it's a lot of the line. Change

671
00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:34,200
Speaker 3: but BUT i mean one Thing i'll remember in two

672
00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:37,640
Speaker 3: thousand and, two a story was fabricated that we stomped

673
00:32:37,640 --> 00:32:41,200
Speaker 3: on their flag and years later it comes out that

674
00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:45,320
Speaker 3: the captain of the team made the story. Up but

675
00:32:45,360 --> 00:32:49,400
Speaker 3: that fired up To. Canada they played harder because they're,

676
00:32:49,440 --> 00:32:51,640
Speaker 3: like they're stepping on our flag and we're like. What

677
00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:54,880
Speaker 3: so you can imagine that the level that you'll go

678
00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:56,600
Speaker 3: through just to get a little bit more out of.

679
00:32:56,600 --> 00:32:58,960
Speaker 1: Your now we got, now we got CHAT gpt in the.

680
00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:02,080
Speaker 1: Mix we can actually make a video of you stepping

681
00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:05,120
Speaker 1: on the. Flag just start sending. Around it's even worse

682
00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:07,800
Speaker 1: now you mentioned how much is on the, line and

683
00:33:07,880 --> 00:33:12,280
Speaker 1: personally for individual players a ton sponsorships and people In

684
00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:14,640
Speaker 1: america knowing who you are and spread spreading the word of.

685
00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:16,760
Speaker 1: Hockey but also for THE, pwhl there's a lot on

686
00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:18,240
Speaker 1: the line because this is the first year of a

687
00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:21,720
Speaker 1: Potential olympics. Bump we've seen this for leagues like THE,

688
00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:25,880
Speaker 1: nwsl for THE, wnba like fans going from An olympic

689
00:33:26,240 --> 00:33:28,720
Speaker 1: tournament and wanted to go watch the players they just

690
00:33:28,760 --> 00:33:30,960
Speaker 1: fell in love. With how do you see THE pwhl

691
00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:32,320
Speaker 1: being able to take advantage of it this?

692
00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:36,480
Speaker 3: YEAR i hope they. DO i mean THE nhl is

693
00:33:36,480 --> 00:33:40,320
Speaker 3: always they've never really put a number on, it but

694
00:33:40,480 --> 00:33:43,680
Speaker 3: when the men, participate they get a. Bump The olympic

695
00:33:43,720 --> 00:33:47,440
Speaker 3: audience is different than YOUR nhl audience or YOUR pwhl.

696
00:33:47,480 --> 00:33:50,400
Speaker 3: Audience it's a broader it's much the volume is higher

697
00:33:50,400 --> 00:33:52,520
Speaker 3: and it's much. Broader so you have people tuning in

698
00:33:52,600 --> 00:33:56,360
Speaker 3: watching like Pole vault from maybe are just, like, oh

699
00:33:56,360 --> 00:33:58,760
Speaker 3: this is so. Interesting you might follow that league or that.

700
00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:03,360
Speaker 3: Athlete so that human interest story in the exposure ABSOLUTELY

701
00:34:03,520 --> 00:34:06,440
Speaker 3: i think has follow on opportunities to bring in new

702
00:34:06,480 --> 00:34:10,000
Speaker 3: fans to new. Sports so women's hockey in this case

703
00:34:10,080 --> 00:34:12,640
Speaker 3: is great because the after effect will be follow those

704
00:34:12,640 --> 00:34:15,920
Speaker 3: athletes to follow those, countries whether it's THE, pdhl THE,

705
00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:20,040
Speaker 3: ncaa or you, know any other sort of league around the.

706
00:34:20,040 --> 00:34:23,520
Speaker 3: World is real and fans fall in. Love they'll fall

707
00:34:23,560 --> 00:34:25,200
Speaker 3: in love with. Hockey they'll fall in love with women's.

708
00:34:25,239 --> 00:34:27,440
Speaker 3: Hockey in my, opinion they may only watch it every four,

709
00:34:27,520 --> 00:34:30,680
Speaker 3: years and, hopefully hopefully they'll, say, oh, Wow Hillary knight

710
00:34:30,719 --> 00:34:33,640
Speaker 3: just scored that game winning. Goal what team does she play?

711
00:34:33,640 --> 00:34:36,200
Speaker 3: For and they'll be, like, Oh, seattle we should try

712
00:34:36,239 --> 00:34:39,560
Speaker 3: to tune in and follow, her you, know post. Game

713
00:34:39,680 --> 00:34:43,759
Speaker 3: so that's that's the, benefit if you could quantify. It

714
00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:46,040
Speaker 3: it's worth money to be, Honest, like THE ioc is

715
00:34:46,440 --> 00:34:50,719
Speaker 3: absolutely elevating these, athletes elevating these, sports and it's the

716
00:34:50,760 --> 00:34:52,120
Speaker 3: onus is on the leagues then to.

717
00:34:52,160 --> 00:34:55,880
Speaker 1: Capitalize and there's the heated rivalry of it. All so

718
00:34:55,920 --> 00:34:58,000
Speaker 1: if we can just get some of those horny hockey

719
00:34:58,040 --> 00:35:00,520
Speaker 1: fans over to the women's side to realize there's way

720
00:35:00,520 --> 00:35:03,640
Speaker 1: more people fucking over, here then we can really we

721
00:35:03,680 --> 00:35:07,600
Speaker 1: can really capture those eyeballs that are more out, athletes

722
00:35:07,640 --> 00:35:07,840
Speaker 1: that's for.

723
00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:09,840
Speaker 3: Sure, yeah kind of, sad you know you think.

724
00:35:09,719 --> 00:35:12,440
Speaker 1: It, NO i mean all the people. Watching i'm, Like

725
00:35:12,520 --> 00:35:16,520
Speaker 1: i'm just thinking about the poor closeted male pro athletes, Watching, Like,

726
00:35:16,600 --> 00:35:17,479
Speaker 1: wow everybody loves.

727
00:35:17,480 --> 00:35:20,200
Speaker 3: It that could, be but that wasn't always the. CASE i,

728
00:35:20,200 --> 00:35:22,479
Speaker 3: think And i'm in hockey has just had a little

729
00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:24,000
Speaker 3: bit more time and little More.

730
00:35:23,920 --> 00:35:26,839
Speaker 1: Well there's such a different expectation for what it means

731
00:35:26,840 --> 00:35:28,960
Speaker 1: to be an athlete and be gay versus being a

732
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:32,319
Speaker 1: man and being an athlete and masculinity and, YadA, YadA.

733
00:35:32,400 --> 00:35:36,160
Speaker 1: YadA that's another, podcast but here's hoping the heated rivalry

734
00:35:36,160 --> 00:35:38,960
Speaker 1: bump has its own impact as. Well you mentioned the

735
00:35:39,040 --> 00:35:42,879
Speaker 1: rivalry series, matchups first ever sweep in a rivalry, series

736
00:35:42,880 --> 00:35:45,120
Speaker 1: and it goes to THE. Us are there things you

737
00:35:45,120 --> 00:35:47,280
Speaker 1: can take from how they, played maybe not the, outcomes

738
00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:48,839
Speaker 1: but how they played that you'd like to see them

739
00:35:48,880 --> 00:35:49,719
Speaker 1: keep doing in The.

740
00:35:49,719 --> 00:35:54,000
Speaker 3: OLYMPICS i think The, americans is you pointed out, earlier

741
00:35:54,320 --> 00:35:57,680
Speaker 3: they have a little bit of a younger team relative To.

742
00:35:57,719 --> 00:36:00,880
Speaker 3: Canada canada chose to go with more of their veterans

743
00:36:00,960 --> 00:36:04,120
Speaker 3: this time, around which is. Fair every coach has a different,

744
00:36:04,160 --> 00:36:07,080
Speaker 3: philosophy do you want that experience or maybe that Youth

745
00:36:07,480 --> 00:36:11,439
Speaker 3: the youth has has paid. OFF i, mean THE us

746
00:36:11,520 --> 00:36:14,480
Speaker 3: won The World they've won the the their top of the,

747
00:36:14,520 --> 00:36:18,960
Speaker 3: rankings they've won the rivalry, series and that definitely sends a.

748
00:36:18,960 --> 00:36:22,320
Speaker 3: MESSAGE i, think, okay anything can happen in The, olympics

749
00:36:22,320 --> 00:36:23,960
Speaker 3: but winning four in a row and some of the

750
00:36:23,960 --> 00:36:27,600
Speaker 3: decisive ways that they, did that's like lodged in the

751
00:36:27,600 --> 00:36:29,440
Speaker 3: back of your head if you're an. Athlete and on

752
00:36:29,480 --> 00:36:31,839
Speaker 3: the other end of, it you, know there's a little

753
00:36:31,840 --> 00:36:34,000
Speaker 3: bit of. Doubt maybe that creeps in heading into the.

754
00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:36,480
Speaker 3: Tournament so the job For canada is to try to

755
00:36:36,480 --> 00:36:40,440
Speaker 3: get rid of that. Doubt but they've the rosters are,

756
00:36:40,440 --> 00:36:44,160
Speaker 3: actually you, know fairly similar from the. World But canada

757
00:36:44,200 --> 00:36:46,640
Speaker 3: definitely decided let's rely on our vets and see if

758
00:36:46,640 --> 00:36:48,520
Speaker 3: they can pull, through and THE us decided to go

759
00:36:48,560 --> 00:36:49,480
Speaker 3: with some of the more youthful.

760
00:36:49,560 --> 00:36:51,920
Speaker 1: Talent, Yeah america's got to walk in there with the

761
00:36:51,960 --> 00:36:56,920
Speaker 1: most STEREOTYPICAL usa swagger to kind of feed into the

762
00:36:56,960 --> 00:36:59,040
Speaker 1: doubt That canada already. Has they need to come in

763
00:36:59,080 --> 00:37:01,360
Speaker 1: as the, big BAD us team that just swept.

764
00:37:01,440 --> 00:37:05,760
Speaker 3: Them and that's hard. THOUGH i hated being number one

765
00:37:05,800 --> 00:37:09,120
Speaker 3: because there was more pressure on yes than like we're the,

766
00:37:09,200 --> 00:37:10,040
Speaker 3: underdog let's.

767
00:37:10,120 --> 00:37:13,080
Speaker 1: Go it's easier to get fired up to prove something wrong.

768
00:37:12,920 --> 00:37:15,960
Speaker 3: Than it is totally just then stay on top of any.

769
00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:18,160

770

Speaker 3: Too we're not the. Best there's you, know anything could.

773
00:37:25,360 --> 00:37:28,920
Speaker 3: Happen but on the flip, side maybe they they truly

774
00:37:28,920 --> 00:37:31,799
Speaker 3: are those kids needed that those wins to feel, like

775
00:37:31,960 --> 00:37:34,560
Speaker 3: really confident that they could Beat canada no matter what the.

776

Speaker 3: Legs you just get your blade on, it but it's.

810
00:39:09,760 --> 00:39:12,759

Speaker 3: canada's got some great players too with you, know you

824
00:39:51,400 --> 00:39:55,120
Speaker 3: always have to Mention Marie Philippe, puhlan their, Captain Captain

825
00:39:55,160 --> 00:39:57,239
Speaker 3: clutch as they call. Her she scored her first game

826

Speaker 3: winner in The olympics WHEN i was still playing back

827
00:39:59,360 --> 00:40:01,239
Speaker 3: in two thousand and And i'm, like who is this

828
00:40:01,400 --> 00:40:04,120
Speaker 3: rookie scoring two goals in the gold medal. Game and

829
00:40:04,160 --> 00:40:06,560
Speaker 3: she's done, it you, know so many. Times so's she'll

830
00:40:06,640 --> 00:40:10,440
Speaker 3: lead a squad again of more older. Players but LIKE i,

831
00:40:10,480 --> 00:40:12,719
Speaker 3: said anything can. Happen that's why this tournament's sol fun to.

832
00:40:12,760 --> 00:40:13,600
Speaker 3: Watch you.

833
00:40:13,600 --> 00:40:15,759
Speaker 1: Know you mentioned the challenge of trying to talk to

834
00:40:15,800 --> 00:40:18,239
Speaker 1: an audience that maybe isn't super familiar with women's. Hockey

835
00:40:18,239 --> 00:40:20,359
Speaker 1: there's this balance you want to make sure everyone gets

836
00:40:20,360 --> 00:40:23,200
Speaker 1: something out of. It sometimes people will joke about how

837
00:40:23,200 --> 00:40:25,200
Speaker 1: commentators in the past go to the same old. Stories

838
00:40:25,200 --> 00:40:27,480
Speaker 1: we're always going to hear About Alex, carpenter the daughter

839
00:40:27,560 --> 00:40:31,440
Speaker 1: of anhel Great Bobby. Carpenter Amanda. Castle, wow she's sisters

840
00:40:31,480 --> 00:40:33,440
Speaker 1: with you, Know phil And Blake. Castle how do you

841
00:40:33,480 --> 00:40:36,000
Speaker 1: balance the need to like speak to the people tuning

842
00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:37,839
Speaker 1: in that want to hear new stories and the people

843
00:40:37,840 --> 00:40:39,920
Speaker 1: who might be just arriving that you need to. Explain

844
00:40:40,360 --> 00:40:41,919
Speaker 1: Hillary knight is kind of a big.

845
00:40:41,960 --> 00:40:47,040
Speaker 3: Deal, YEAH i think you try to do. Both BUT

846
00:40:47,120 --> 00:40:50,080
Speaker 3: i do think the expectation when you're watching The olympics is,

847
00:40:50,600 --> 00:40:54,800
Speaker 3: AGAIN nbc was the first to do this real storytelling.

848
00:40:55,440 --> 00:40:57,960
Speaker 3: Angle it's why The olympics do so well around the.

849
00:40:57,960 --> 00:40:59,959
Speaker 3: World it's why we tune in to watch random. Sport

850
00:41:00,160 --> 00:41:04,040
Speaker 3: it's with random athletes with things we don't. Understand you

851
00:41:04,120 --> 00:41:06,880
Speaker 3: expect the commentators to like dumb it down in some.

852
00:41:06,920 --> 00:41:10,320
Speaker 3: Ways so that might be frustrating for those hardcore fans

853
00:41:10,360 --> 00:41:14,280
Speaker 3: that know everything About Hillary night, already but you hopefully

854
00:41:14,320 --> 00:41:16,400
Speaker 3: can appreciate we're trying to bring that audience in and

855
00:41:17,239 --> 00:41:19,000
Speaker 3: maybe give you a side of some of these players

856
00:41:19,000 --> 00:41:21,359
Speaker 3: that you didn't. Know don't have the time to, do

857
00:41:21,400 --> 00:41:24,480
Speaker 3: SO i try to balance. BOTH i don't want to

858
00:41:24,520 --> 00:41:27,840
Speaker 3: lose the appreciation though for the. Skill, again WHEN i, played,

859
00:41:28,600 --> 00:41:30,680
Speaker 3: yes you know Where i'm from and my hometown and

860
00:41:30,719 --> 00:41:33,640
Speaker 3: my height and my but, like talk about my game

861
00:41:33,800 --> 00:41:35,120
Speaker 3: like as an, Athlete and this was one of my

862
00:41:35,120 --> 00:41:37,719
Speaker 3: biggest frustrations with women's sports over the. Years. Too is

863
00:41:38,840 --> 00:41:41,799
Speaker 3: the longest time it wasn't like hyped. Up it was, like,

864
00:41:41,800 --> 00:41:43,440
Speaker 3: Oh angel is a good role model and look at

865
00:41:43,440 --> 00:41:45,719
Speaker 3: her education and, like And i'm, like talk about my,

866
00:41:45,800 --> 00:41:48,160
Speaker 3: game which was, Good, like no one knows about my.

867
00:41:48,239 --> 00:41:51,640
Speaker 3: Game that's WHAT i think most athletes today. Want they

868
00:41:51,640 --> 00:41:53,960
Speaker 3: want you to respect their game as well as all

869
00:41:54,000 --> 00:41:56,279
Speaker 3: the things that they do off the. Ice SO i

870
00:41:56,320 --> 00:41:56,719
Speaker 3: try to do.

871
00:41:56,800 --> 00:41:59,239
Speaker 1: Both, YEAH i, MEAN i think people will get attached to,

872
00:41:59,280 --> 00:42:01,719
Speaker 1: stories but then they'll stick around when you start to

873
00:42:01,719 --> 00:42:04,279
Speaker 1: give them the kind of metrics and language to have

874
00:42:04,360 --> 00:42:07,360
Speaker 1: debates and argue that the water cooler about whether someone's

875
00:42:07,360 --> 00:42:09,120
Speaker 1: a better defender than someone, Else and we can't do

876
00:42:09,160 --> 00:42:11,400
Speaker 1: that unless we're actually talking about x's and o's in the.

877
00:42:11,400 --> 00:42:13,560
Speaker 1: Game how do you think the game has changed since you've?

878
00:42:13,560 --> 00:42:15,880
Speaker 1: Played what stands out to the most about the style

879
00:42:15,920 --> 00:42:16,239
Speaker 1: of play?

880
00:42:16,320 --> 00:42:22,160
Speaker 3: CHANGING i think it's it's definitely gotten faster and, stronger

881
00:42:22,280 --> 00:42:24,480
Speaker 3: and the athletes both on the men's and women's, side

882
00:42:24,480 --> 00:42:27,719
Speaker 3: are just way more conditioned and, trained WHICH i. Love

883
00:42:27,800 --> 00:42:30,040
Speaker 3: there's just it's like night and day in terms of

884
00:42:30,120 --> 00:42:33,359
Speaker 3: how you approach your body and the way that you

885
00:42:33,400 --> 00:42:36,960
Speaker 3: Can as an aerobic and an anaerobic, sport you have

886
00:42:37,000 --> 00:42:39,319
Speaker 3: to be able to sprint for thirty to forty five

887
00:42:39,400 --> 00:42:43,560
Speaker 3: seconds all, out super, strong and then go recover so

888
00:42:43,560 --> 00:42:45,279
Speaker 3: your heart rate gos like this and bring it back

889
00:42:45,320 --> 00:42:50,200
Speaker 3: down so that aerobic and anaerobic, conditioning the physicality of

890
00:42:50,239 --> 00:42:52,239
Speaker 3: it has gone way. Up on the women's, GAME i

891
00:42:52,320 --> 00:42:54,280
Speaker 3: used to get thrown in the box all the time

892
00:42:54,400 --> 00:42:58,600
Speaker 3: for incidental. Contact today's player would probably hit me and

893
00:42:58,640 --> 00:43:01,520
Speaker 3: like kind of give me one bet because they're they're

894
00:43:01,560 --> 00:43:06,200
Speaker 3: just strong and they're training. Differently, Again i'm jealous The

895
00:43:06,480 --> 00:43:08,680
Speaker 3: Megan keller's of the world that these good defense could

896
00:43:08,760 --> 00:43:12,000
Speaker 3: jump into the play as a defense. Person back in the,

897
00:43:12,080 --> 00:43:14,719
Speaker 3: day it was sort of your three forwards and your

898
00:43:14,719 --> 00:43:19,400
Speaker 3: two D now they're almost. Interchangeable SO i think activating

899
00:43:19,400 --> 00:43:22,760
Speaker 3: your defense has created more offensive opportunities across the. Board

900
00:43:23,960 --> 00:43:27,240
Speaker 3: but the game, Itself i'd say in the p mihl's

901
00:43:27,280 --> 00:43:30,840
Speaker 3: introduced checking only this past. Year that's another rule. Change

902
00:43:31,239 --> 00:43:34,839
Speaker 3: back in nineteen ninety THE iihf allowed, it they took

903
00:43:34,880 --> 00:43:37,799
Speaker 3: it out in nineteen ninety. Two it's kind of changed the.

904
00:43:37,840 --> 00:43:40,480
Speaker 3: Game so it's super, physical but you can't like lay someone.

905
00:43:40,480 --> 00:43:42,120
Speaker 3: Out in the women's, game you get thrown in the.

906
00:43:42,120 --> 00:43:45,719
Speaker 3: Box THE pmhl is sort of testing that it might

907
00:43:45,800 --> 00:43:48,239
Speaker 3: it might actually AFFECT i think we'll everyone's gonna be

908
00:43:48,239 --> 00:43:50,600
Speaker 3: paying attention to These olympics and is it a rule

909
00:43:50,680 --> 00:43:54,640
Speaker 3: change that we should explore. Again but the game itself

910
00:43:54,960 --> 00:43:58,080
Speaker 3: is just getting better and better and. Better and, PLAYERS i,

911
00:43:58,080 --> 00:44:01,000
Speaker 3: think because they know at a very age they can

912
00:44:01,040 --> 00:44:03,560
Speaker 3: get a, scholarship they can play professional. Hockey they can

913
00:44:03,719 --> 00:44:08,200
Speaker 3: represent their. Country they're starting younger and and they're they're

914
00:44:08,239 --> 00:44:10,560
Speaker 3: getting more resources and support around them to be a

915
00:44:10,600 --> 00:44:12,640
Speaker 3: better version of. Themselves and the last Point i'll make

916
00:44:13,280 --> 00:44:16,320
Speaker 3: is they're staying in the. GAME i retired at thirty.

917
00:44:16,360 --> 00:44:18,160
Speaker 3: ONE i had a lot of hockey left. Him, YEAH

918
00:44:18,160 --> 00:44:20,240
Speaker 3: i could have played, two, THREE i could have, played

919
00:44:20,760 --> 00:44:23,360
Speaker 3: just SAYING i could have played at least fan maybe my.

920
00:44:23,440 --> 00:44:25,640
Speaker 3: Six because it is a defense, person you're back. More

921

Speaker 1: Loop they're keeping us in.

1007
00:48:08,480 --> 00:48:11,360
Speaker 3: Formed we had a meeting In december with an annual shareholder,

1008
00:48:11,440 --> 00:48:14,479
Speaker 3: meeting so they gave us the, usual you, know here's

00:48:14,520 --> 00:48:16,400
Speaker 3: the update on the league and how it's doing and

1010
00:48:16,400 --> 00:48:18,719
Speaker 3: all of our. Metrics but, no they keep us out

1011
00:48:18,760 --> 00:48:23,319
Speaker 3: of any. Negotiations we're not wait and. See i'm just

1012
00:48:23,400 --> 00:48:26,239
Speaker 3: like you, like paying attention to both sides and, seeing you,

1013
00:48:26,280 --> 00:48:28,120
Speaker 3: know where this thing pans. Out but it's but, yeah

1014
00:48:28,280 --> 00:48:32,440
Speaker 3: that was in Two it's crazy that INVESTMENT i committed

1015
00:48:32,440 --> 00:48:35,359
Speaker 3: in twenty twenty. One at that point in, time they

1016
00:48:35,520 --> 00:48:39,439
Speaker 3: didn't have it was a different, landscape Like Kayln clark hadn't.

1017
00:48:39,480 --> 00:48:42,000
Speaker 3: Arrived women's. Sports that was when the fan project With.

1018
00:48:42,040 --> 00:48:45,359
Speaker 3: Burz i'm like telling people invest in women's. Sports it

1019
00:48:45,400 --> 00:48:48,320
Speaker 3: is about to blow. Up so had the opportunity to, Invest,

1020
00:48:49,120 --> 00:48:53,200
Speaker 3: yes it'll be a nice. Return whenever that. Happens but it's.

1021
00:48:53,239 --> 00:48:56,359
Speaker 3: Happened it's. Crazy it's only it's only five years from from.

1022
00:48:56,400 --> 00:49:00,120
Speaker 3: Then and but back then they no one was. Investing

1023
00:49:00,719 --> 00:49:01,120
Speaker 3: they needed.

1024
00:49:01,160 --> 00:49:03,200
Speaker 1: It and so as much AS i criticized them for

1025
00:49:03,239 --> 00:49:05,640
Speaker 1: perhaps being shortsighted and the value that they were giving

1026
00:49:05,719 --> 00:49:07,959
Speaker 1: up for a seventy five million that's now worth something

1027
00:49:07,960 --> 00:49:11,000
Speaker 1: like three hundred and fifty, million the necessity at the

1028
00:49:11,000 --> 00:49:13,520
Speaker 1: time to get that capital investment in order to fund

1029
00:49:13,680 --> 00:49:15,600
Speaker 1: the kind of marketing and promotion that they needed to

1030
00:49:15,640 --> 00:49:17,600
Speaker 1: align with the success that they were seeing around the

1031
00:49:17,800 --> 00:49:20,320
Speaker 1: around the. Corner even pre Angel rees And Caitlin, clark

1032
00:49:20,520 --> 00:49:22,520
Speaker 1: there was already this build that they needed to be

1033
00:49:22,560 --> 00:49:26,200
Speaker 1: able to fund and. Support so it made sense at the.

1034
00:49:26,239 --> 00:49:29,279
Speaker 1: Time we'll, see uh if in the long run it

1035
00:49:29,320 --> 00:49:30,920
Speaker 1: was the right. Move it was the right move for,
