Habs Victory Tribute

At Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Finals at Bell Centre the Montreal Canadiens decided on having a tribute to celebrate the Montreal Victoire's championshipWhile it sounded like a good idea but it happened during a tv timeout making it impossible for fans of the PWHL across the globe from seeing it in what ended up being another faux pas caused by the NHL

Brick Wall Priorities

Phase 1 of the 2026 Expansion Process is complete as the current right teams made their protection lists as a lot of shocks were presented following them being made publicBut the big thing is once again the majority of the Purple Trio's selections were indeed protected although some teams really threw us off guard

Non Takeover Benefits

With Las Vegas & San Jose both landing expansion teams despite not being tested on the Takeover Tour I lead the debate on how giving markets that haven't bee on the tour a team as it helps wider the net when we're looking for future marketsAt the end of the day the PWHL never said the Takeover Tour was designed for expansion as it was designed to help grow our league into markets without a team and I think people need to be reminded of that

Let's Talk Conferences

With the league now expanded to twelve teams and even split in terms of teams on the East Coast & the West Coast the question now is do we go to a conference system or set up divisionsI personally would prefer to go down the conference route as the entire Purple Trio discuss the cons and the merits to adopting a conference system for our league

Walk The Plank

Out of all of the coaching hirings made last year Steve O'Rourke was the one the entire Purple Trio were least confident about so none of us are surprised that he has been let go in what feels like a similar situation we saw from New York in the inaugural seasonThe Torrent never seemed to be able to get things clicking and with the expansion process about to begin this could be a chance for a clean slate and rebuild quickly
