Season one of the PWHL 110 00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:52,440 Speaker 1: was such a success, record breaking attendance, unprecedented support from fans. 111 00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:54,520 Speaker 1: What are you hoping to see from the league in 112 00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:55,120 Speaker 1: season two? 113 00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:56,920 Speaker 2: I think just more of the same. 114 00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:59,599 Speaker 3: I think for so many people, from players to also 115 00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:01,640 Speaker 3: like the people who are running the league, the owners, 116 00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:03,479 Speaker 3: A lot of people in management that do a lot 117 00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:05,520 Speaker 3: of the business stuff that we don't see as players 118 00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:07,440 Speaker 3: on day to day basis. We all kind of know 119 00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:11,640 Speaker 3: more what to expect. So Year one was great in 120 00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:13,840 Speaker 3: so many ways. And I've I've heard some people talk 121 00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:15,360 Speaker 3: about like, now it's going to be I think really 122 00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:16,880 Speaker 3: about the hockey and continue. 123 00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:17,840 Speaker 2: To progress that forward. 124 00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:20,800 Speaker 3: And we've always known that the product that we can 125 00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:23,479 Speaker 3: put on the ice is high quality and exciting for 126 00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:25,440 Speaker 3: people to watch, and now it's just kind of continuing 127 00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:25,880 Speaker 3: to build that. 128 00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:28,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, the cool thing about new leagues is there's such 129 00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:32,279 Speaker 1: excitement when they arrive, which helps, and then you worry 130 00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:34,640 Speaker 1: about maybe a sophomore slump or the novelty of it 131 00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:36,919 Speaker 1: all going away. But it's actually those extra years that 132 00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:42,240 Speaker 1: give nostalgia, tradition, statistics, rivalries, Like there's so much in 133 00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:45,160 Speaker 1: sport that gets added on as you add to something 134 00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:47,599 Speaker 1: that's new, like the PWHL, So you really have the 135 00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:50,000 Speaker 1: opportunity as some of the first players to create that 136 00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:54,479 Speaker 1: early lore about teams and about rivalries and everything else. 137 00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:58,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, and exactly that with like brivalries specifically, so many 138 00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:00,680 Speaker 3: of us know people on other teams. There's only six 139 00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:02,760 Speaker 3: teams there's not that many players in the league yet, 140 00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:05,520 Speaker 3: So for one, it's really hard to make rosters, and 141 00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:07,640 Speaker 3: then for the second piece of it, once you're on 142 00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:09,400 Speaker 3: the roster, like you're fighting to keep your spot, and 143 00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:12,000 Speaker 3: then knowing other people on other teams, it's fun to 144 00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:14,400 Speaker 3: have those different dynamics. 145 00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:16,440 Speaker 2: And I feel like it's this year as well. You're 146 00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:17,200 Speaker 2: going to see more. 147 00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:19,320 Speaker 3: Of what type of team each team is, what style 148 00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:21,760 Speaker 3: they play, and it's just going to keep fostering into that. 149 00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:24,320 Speaker 3: And people know that, you know, when they played in 150 00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:26,120 Speaker 3: Minnesota Frost, they play a certain team. I'm not going 151 00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:28,080 Speaker 3: to give them all their secrets, but they know they 152 00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:30,239 Speaker 3: kind of you know more what to expect playing each team. 153 00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:33,400 Speaker 3: So it'll be fun to see how that continues to build. 154 00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:36,360 Speaker 1: You mentioned the players knowing each other. One of the 155 00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:39,760 Speaker 1: best rivalries in all of sport is USA Canada Hockey 156 00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:44,360 Speaker 1: and y'all are teammates. Now, how is that going back 157 00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:47,640 Speaker 1: and forth between playing some of the international games, prepping 158 00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:51,000 Speaker 1: for Olympics and World Championships with your home team, and 159 00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:54,440 Speaker 1: then going and suiting up alongside those same people you 160 00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:55,600 Speaker 1: just wanted to destroy. 161 00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:58,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, last year we added Sophie Jake's to our roster 162 00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:01,280 Speaker 3: the first ever trade, so she had a little bit 163 00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:03,840 Speaker 3: of international experience, and then this year with Claire Thompson, 164 00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:07,360 Speaker 3: she's really like the first that I've played with that 165 00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:09,600 Speaker 3: was like that's been on the national team and you know, 166 00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:11,520 Speaker 3: she was at the twenty two Olympics and her Olympic 167 00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:14,320 Speaker 3: experience was we had some similarities, but then obviously in 168 00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:15,800 Speaker 3: that goal medal game, it was very different. 169 00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:18,920 Speaker 2: So yeah, the rivalry is still pretty heated. 170 00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:22,080 Speaker 3: I think that that the root of the rivalry which 171 00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:24,240 Speaker 3: has always made it so great is the respect that's there, 172 00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:27,520 Speaker 3: and I think ultimately both of our federations are trying 173 00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:30,280 Speaker 3: to progress this game and push it not just in 174 00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:33,400 Speaker 3: our own countries but across the world as well. So 175 00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:35,960 Speaker 3: that's at the root of it, which makes it really 176 00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:37,960 Speaker 3: easy once we step on that ice as opponents to 177 00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:40,320 Speaker 3: you know, get into that mindset, and then it makes 178 00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:43,160 Speaker 3: it also really easy when your teammates to kind of 179 00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:45,480 Speaker 3: put that other hat away and be working now on 180 00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:47,040 Speaker 3: this goal together as teammates. 181 00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:49,360 Speaker 1: What are your personal goals for season two? 182 00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:51,160 Speaker 2: Personally? 183 00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:53,440 Speaker 3: I think I think a lot of people doubted our 184 00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:55,839 Speaker 3: team going into last season. I think a lot of 185 00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:57,840 Speaker 3: people doubted our team at the end of last season 186 00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:00,000 Speaker 3: when we were on a I think it was five 187 00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:03,600 Speaker 3: regular season games slump that made its way into seven 188 00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:06,400 Speaker 3: losing games streak into the playoffs, and I think a 189 00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:09,360 Speaker 3: lot of people might look at our team's like wins 190 00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:11,439 Speaker 3: and our success and winning the Walter Cup is kind of. 191 00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:13,360 Speaker 2: A fluke in some ways. So I think we still 192 00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:14,479 Speaker 2: have a lot to prove. 193 00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:17,319 Speaker 3: Because we can because I think I think we actually 194 00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:19,840 Speaker 3: are that team that the norm was how good we 195 00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:22,120 Speaker 3: were to start the season, and so I think for 196 00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:24,240 Speaker 3: us it's just kind of going to we continue to 197 00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:26,079 Speaker 3: build on that. And as far as goals, I think 198 00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:27,480 Speaker 3: you just got to take it one step at a time. 199 00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:28,839 Speaker 2: Like I said, with only six teams in. 200 00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:31,240 Speaker 3: This league, the expectation is to make playoffs, and the 201 00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:32,960 Speaker 3: expectation is to give ourselves a chance to win in 202 00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:33,560 Speaker 3: the end as well. 203 00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:36,560 Speaker 1: A lot of fans were surprised to see after you 204 00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:39,520 Speaker 1: did win the Cup the Frost parting ways with their GM. 205 00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:42,320 Speaker 1: How does the team rally around last year's success but 206 00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:46,120 Speaker 1: also figure out how to move forward with that turbulent offseason, 207 00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:47,920 Speaker 1: because it's not a straight line from the team that 208 00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:49,240 Speaker 1: got it done last year to this year. 209 00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:52,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, that was definitely I think the first, not the first, 210 00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:54,800 Speaker 3: but one of those points that's like, this is pro sports, right, 211 00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:56,360 Speaker 3: and that's something that's new to a lot of people. 212 00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:59,040 Speaker 3: And with the coaching change at the beginning of the season, 213 00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:01,760 Speaker 3: before even game one, and then with the GM change 214 00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:05,000 Speaker 3: over the summer, that was the welcome to pro sports moments. 215 00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:07,840 Speaker 3: So I think for as much as was made out 216 00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:09,679 Speaker 3: in the media, like our team has always kind of 217 00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:11,480 Speaker 3: known what's been going on, and our team has always 218 00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:13,800 Speaker 3: been close, and that's at the end of the day, Like, 219 00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:16,520 Speaker 3: that's what matters, is that every team I've ever been on, 220 00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:18,480 Speaker 3: the players are the ones that have to play. The 221 00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:21,600 Speaker 3: players the ones that have to win the game. The coaches, 222 00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:23,840 Speaker 3: the staff can only do so much. It's up to 223 00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:26,559 Speaker 3: the players ultimately. And I think, like I said in 224 00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:29,000 Speaker 3: our locker room, we knew what the truth was. We 225 00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:30,440 Speaker 3: know what the truth is, We know who we are 226 00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:32,320 Speaker 3: as a team. We know how close knit our team was, 227 00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:34,199 Speaker 3: and that's a huge reason why we were successful. 228 00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:38,520 Speaker 1: Okay, so we've got probably a bunch of PWHL newbs 229 00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:41,280 Speaker 1: listening folks who want to get involved but don't have 230 00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:43,760 Speaker 1: a rooting interest, yet maybe don't have a team near them. 231 00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:46,720 Speaker 1: So sell us on the Minnesota Frost. Why should we cheer. 232 00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:49,040 Speaker 2: For your Minnesota Frost. Let's start with our goaltenders. 233 00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:51,760 Speaker 3: We have two great goaltenders and they have a ton 234 00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:54,320 Speaker 3: of personality and like they're just really fun to cheer for. 235 00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:56,160 Speaker 3: They're also like two of the best in the world 236 00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:58,120 Speaker 3: in my opinion, some of the easiest to ever play 237 00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:00,320 Speaker 3: in front of. And they have great pads. So if 238 00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:04,000 Speaker 3: you like, you know styles, great past, we did, great helmet. 239 00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:05,920 Speaker 1: We love looking at pads and helmets and what the 240 00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:06,520 Speaker 1: goalies picked. 241 00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:08,760 Speaker 3: They get to they get to show their you know, 242 00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:10,760 Speaker 3: their uniqueness and their personalities in that way. 243 00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:11,240 Speaker 2: So that's fine. 244 00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:12,520 Speaker 1: And then I think they give us their names so 245 00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:13,079 Speaker 1: we can follow that. 246 00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:14,800 Speaker 2: Nicole Hensley and Mattie Rooney. 247 00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:17,640 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Maddy Rooney has sick pads. 248 00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:20,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, they both do. I mean they've both the purple. 249 00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:22,800 Speaker 3: They've done a good job with the purple and making it, 250 00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:24,000 Speaker 3: making it their own. 251 00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:25,640 Speaker 1: And then we got to check that out. 252 00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:26,600 Speaker 2: Yeah through do our defense. 253 00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:28,640 Speaker 3: I just think we have such a well balanced roster 254 00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:31,480 Speaker 3: that and even a moment like we have some superstars 255 00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:33,280 Speaker 3: and you know Taylor Harzy and grayce On Winkle. We 256 00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:37,160 Speaker 3: have Kendall Coin Schofield, who's a future hot gamer in 257 00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:39,800 Speaker 3: our sport, right, and then we have players like Mikaela 258 00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:42,480 Speaker 3: Cava who stepped up huge in playoffs, who's been a 259 00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:46,200 Speaker 3: pro in the past, league's least decline obviously on the 260 00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:49,720 Speaker 3: back end, Claire Thompson, like I said, Sophie Jakes, we 261 00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:52,880 Speaker 3: have all these players, and we also have again the people, 262 00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:55,080 Speaker 3: like we're gonna work hard every game, right, We're not 263 00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:56,800 Speaker 3: going to rely on just to kill and talent. Our 264 00:11:56,840 --> 00:11:59,120 Speaker 3: coach demands more from us out of that. But we're 265 00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:01,920 Speaker 3: gonna play hopefully a mix of skill and physicality and 266 00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:04,560 Speaker 3: hopefully have some fun doing and and uh, we're hoping 267 00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:07,880 Speaker 3: to be a little bit maybe more consistent offensively this year, 268 00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:09,840 Speaker 3: so hopefully that provides people to you know, jump on 269 00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:10,480 Speaker 3: our side. 270 00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:13,319 Speaker 1: Purple Collar work Ethic, is that what we're going to 271 00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:16,760 Speaker 1: go with, Sure, Purple ethic team. 272 00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:18,559 Speaker 2: Yeah, great, color Wave too great. 273 00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:21,480 Speaker 3: I mean, if you like Gatherid the Frost, that kind 274 00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:22,559 Speaker 3: of just like fits into that. 275 00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:23,719 Speaker 2: So if you're a fan of. 276 00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:27,400 Speaker 1: That sponsorship waiting to happen right there, Yeah, it hasn't already. 277 00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:30,000 Speaker 2: Gator, it might be a league spotsor league partner.

It kind of just stemmed from that. And 306 00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:42,800 Speaker 3: then the marketing director is someone who used to work 307 00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:44,760 Speaker 3: for the Wild for like ten years, so she had 308 00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:46,680 Speaker 3: a lot of like she kind of knew what was 309 00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:50,840 Speaker 3: going on too.

It's a 316 00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:08,120 Speaker 3: little bit on the edge of cockiness for me, but 317 00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:09,720 Speaker 3: we're gonna lie with it. And I think for me, 318 00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:13,720 Speaker 3: like it's I play a team sport and all of 319 00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:15,520 Speaker 3: the things on my resume that you've read off are 320 00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:17,880 Speaker 3: things that are go back to the team that I'm 321 00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:19,720 Speaker 3: a part of, a team that's no been able to win. 322 00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:23,560 Speaker 3: So I always like to say winners win, and something 323 00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:25,840 Speaker 3: that I feel like as people hear me say a lot, 324 00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:28,600 Speaker 3: and yeah, winning is fun and celebrating those ones with 325 00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:29,880 Speaker 3: the beer in your hand is even better. 326 00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:32,640 Speaker 1: I was gonna say it's kind of a missed opportunity 327 00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:35,600 Speaker 1: that there isn't already a beer that's like basically dedicated 328 00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:38,920 Speaker 1: to being the celebration beer. It just feels like there 329 00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:42,680 Speaker 1: should already be a brand name, big beer company that 330 00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:47,640 Speaker 1: rolls out a specific one that's just for celebrations. Maybe 331 00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:50,120 Speaker 1: it will be been there one that maybe this is 332 00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:53,200 Speaker 1: just the start of something really big. I read in 333 00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:54,880 Speaker 1: the press release that the first beer you had with 334 00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:57,000 Speaker 1: your family when you turned twenty one was Fulton Beer. 335 00:14:57,040 --> 00:14:59,240 Speaker 1: We won't claim that that was the first beer you 336 00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:02,240 Speaker 1: had ever. Hey, it's not just say the first legal 337 00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:05,320 Speaker 1: beer that you had with your family was from this brewery. 338 00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:07,160 Speaker 3: Yeah. I don't know if it was the very first one, 339 00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:10,600 Speaker 3: but it's definitely one that like with my dad, he's 340 00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:12,880 Speaker 3: an IPA, a fan of I PAS, and I feel 341 00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:15,880 Speaker 3: like that's kind of always played a role into the 342 00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:19,000 Speaker 3: beer I like as well, and so like I very 343 00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:22,280 Speaker 3: distinctly remember the Fulton Sweet Child Divine was one of 344 00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:25,120 Speaker 3: my go to favorites from the beginning, and what a 345 00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:27,880 Speaker 3: random thing for a girl in college to like. But 346 00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:30,000 Speaker 3: it's just something too like with our old family, like 347 00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:31,760 Speaker 3: it's very authentic to like what we do. 348 00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:35,120 Speaker 1: It just it is what it is, and proceeds go 349 00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:37,560 Speaker 1: to the Mosaic Hockey Collective. Some of the proceeds. What 350 00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:37,960 Speaker 1: is that? 351 00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:40,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, so the Mosaic Hockey Collective is there a group 352 00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:43,560 Speaker 3: that me and Matty Grouney actually last year we donated 353 00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:45,160 Speaker 3: some tickets too, and DIDs some meet and greets throughout 354 00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:50,920 Speaker 3: the entire season. Their group basically provide hockey resources to 355 00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:54,920 Speaker 3: players and communities that might not have the easiest access. 356 00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:57,280 Speaker 3: A lot of times it's people of color, and it's 357 00:15:57,280 --> 00:15:59,040 Speaker 3: because of color that again might not have had that 358 00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:02,960 Speaker 3: quintessential Minnesota story of I g I play hockey because 359 00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:04,800 Speaker 3: my dad played hockey and my older brother played hockey 360 00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:05,440 Speaker 3: or whatever it. 361 00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:07,760 Speaker 1: Is, so hopefully now moms and sisters too. 362 00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:08,560 Speaker 2: Yes, exactly. 363 00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:12,240 Speaker 3: So it's it's I think a great organization that just 364 00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:14,600 Speaker 3: brings more people more diversity to the game of hockey 365 00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:17,280 Speaker 3: and again just reinforcing that idea that hockey is a 366 00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:21,760 Speaker 3: space that everyone is welcome and just because it traditionally 367 00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:25,520 Speaker 3: hasn't maybe had the same look. Hopefully more and more 368 00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:27,480 Speaker 3: people are represented in ear league as well. 369 00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:31,200 Speaker 1: Cool. I love that. And you're actually celebrating this beer 370 00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:35,440 Speaker 1: with the launch party early December at the Women's Sports Bar, 371 00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:37,160 Speaker 1: a bar of their own, which I haven't made it 372 00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:39,440 Speaker 1: too yet, but I've heard a lot about if folks 373 00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:41,960 Speaker 1: are near the Twin Cities on December eleventh, then they 374 00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:43,320 Speaker 1: want to go. What can they expect? 375 00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:45,760 Speaker 3: A lot of beer and a great time. A bar 376 00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:47,320 Speaker 3: of their own is a really fun place to be. 377 00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:50,040 Speaker 3: Every time I've ever been in there, there's it's how 378 00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:52,360 Speaker 3: it sounds right, it's women's sports bars. There's women's sports. 379 00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:55,640 Speaker 3: You know, games playing, whether they're live or replays, and 380 00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:58,200 Speaker 3: memorabilia on the wall.

And like I also like I'm tied and 407 00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:02,679 Speaker 3: the sun goes down at like four holy cozy. 408 00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:04,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm good in my home. 409 00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:06,120 Speaker 3: And then the summer is like, okay, let's have some fun, 410 00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:07,800 Speaker 3: like like who wants to hang out like that kind 411 00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:08,080 Speaker 3: of thing. 412 00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:12,960 Speaker 2: So it's hard to Mattice for El's. I mean here 413 00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:13,800 Speaker 2: to live. 414 00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:15,800 Speaker 3: That's a good question. I'd be fun maybe to go 415 00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:20,000 Speaker 3: out east somewhere. Was it actually just talking to hand 416 00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:22,200 Speaker 3: a Brand today, checking in with her. So maybe out 417 00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:25,359 Speaker 3: in Boston and see how that would be. But people, 418 00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:28,160 Speaker 3: I feel like talk about Massachusetts and Boston the same 419 00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:29,640 Speaker 3: way they would talk about Minnesota. 420 00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:32,440 Speaker 1: So yeah, I mean, you're picking another good hockey place. 421 00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:34,560 Speaker 1: So yeah, I think it's fascinating. You know, I gave 422 00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:37,280 Speaker 1: advice to young people in a column I wrote a 423 00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:39,399 Speaker 1: couple of years ago, and people actually reached out and 424 00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:40,879 Speaker 1: they were like, we listened to you, and I was like, 425 00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:44,040 Speaker 1: holy shit, you moved because of my column. But I said, 426 00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:46,040 Speaker 1: I think it's good for people to get away from 427 00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:48,240 Speaker 1: where they're from at least once. And you can always 428 00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:50,720 Speaker 1: come back, but get away and figure out who you 429 00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:54,199 Speaker 1: are when everybody there hasn't always known you. And so 430 00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:57,960 Speaker 1: it's wonderful to be a loyal Minnesotan and to have 431 00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:00,720 Speaker 1: never left and at every turn be repers ending your state. 432 00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:04,359 Speaker 1: And I also think hopefully sometime in life you'll go 433 00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:07,919 Speaker 1: somewhere very far away, and just make sure that you 434 00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:09,720 Speaker 1: are who you want to be instead of whoeveryone are 435 00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:10,400 Speaker 1: you thinks you are. 436 00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:12,720 Speaker 3: I like that advice. That's really good advice, and I will. 437 00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:14,560 Speaker 3: I just need to find a better answer for you, 438 00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:15,320 Speaker 3: is what I need to do. 439 00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:18,080 Speaker 1: You go there, you go. But also now, everyone who 440 00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:20,320 Speaker 1: is a fan of the Frost, do not yell at me. 441 00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:23,000 Speaker 1: I'm not to go anywhere yet. Just down. 442 00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:23,560 Speaker 2: I'm not going. 443 00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:26,879 Speaker 1: I can promise you that down the road. We've got 444 00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:31,919 Speaker 1: that on tape on tape. It's a promise. Congratulations on 445 00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:34,040 Speaker 1: all your success, good luck with the beer, good luck 446 00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:35,600 Speaker 1: with the season, and thanks so much for giving us 447 00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:35,920 Speaker 1: some time. 448 00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:37,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, thank you, this is fun. 449 00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:40,960 Speaker 1: Thanks again to Kelly for joining us. We got to 450 00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:43,880 Speaker 1: take another break when we come back. Maple Baked YouTube 451 00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:46,800 Speaker 1: and an all too relatable story from the Lobo family. 452 00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:55,480 Speaker 1: Welcome back, Slices. We got an inquiry from one of 453 00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:57,679 Speaker 1: y'all and wanted to provide some answers, so here's an 454 00:19:57,680 --> 00:20:01,200 Speaker 1: excerpt of Slice. Shannon Patterson's email to us high Good 455 00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:03,840 Speaker 1: game team. I'm super pissed at the PWHL for no 456 00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:06,960 Speaker 1: longer streaming all of the games on maple Bacon YouTube 457 00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:10,040 Speaker 1: aka YouTube in Canada. As a Canadian fan who has 458 00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:12,320 Speaker 1: hyped the league to pretty much everyone I know, I 459 00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:14,040 Speaker 1: feel like the league is turning its back on some 460 00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:16,719 Speaker 1: of its biggest supporters in order to cash in. I 461 00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:18,840 Speaker 1: suspect the amount of cash the league breaks in through 462 00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:21,480 Speaker 1: TV deals is important to its future, So I'm hoping 463 00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:23,040 Speaker 1: that you can maybe get someone to tell it to 464 00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:25,040 Speaker 1: me in short sentences so that I'm not pissed at 465 00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:28,320 Speaker 1: them forever. Also, why is the hockey spread across Amazon, Prime, 466 00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:32,320 Speaker 1: CBC and TSN. That's now three streaming sources instead of 467 00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:37,639 Speaker 1: just one that was universally available from a maple bacon slice. Okay, first, 468 00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:39,880 Speaker 1: a maple bacon orange slice is a concept that someone 469 00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:43,040 Speaker 1: should investigate. Not me, because I'm a vegetarian I don't 470 00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:45,480 Speaker 1: eat bacon, but somebody. I think just the sound of 471 00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:49,040 Speaker 1: it is very intriguing. Moving on, Shannon, I did reach 472 00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:51,560 Speaker 1: out to senior VP of Business Ops at the pwhl 473 00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:54,600 Speaker 1: Amy Sheer, who said that your assumptions regarding coverage in 474 00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:57,600 Speaker 1: Canada are spot on. No YouTube in Canada now because 475 00:20:57,640 --> 00:21:00,840 Speaker 1: the league's new broadcast deals come with exclusive streaming rights. 476 00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:02,600 Speaker 1: She said it was a tough decision to make, but 477 00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:04,560 Speaker 1: the right one for the financial health of the league 478 00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:07,439 Speaker 1: and their hopeing fans can understand. In the US, you 479 00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:10,560 Speaker 1: can still watch the PWHL on YouTube and regional sports 480 00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:14,239 Speaker 1: networks like msg nesson and FanDuel. Amy said fans can 481 00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:17,280 Speaker 1: find TV listings on the league website and team websites, 482 00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:20,160 Speaker 1: and can follow them all on socials, where broadcast information 483 00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:22,680 Speaker 1: is listed as well.
