Danish Calendars 2026

The IIHF World Championships will take place in Denmark between the 6-16 November 2026 and the entire Purple Trio couldn't be more excited as we now have the full schedule locked in our diariesAnd of course with the shift in calendar it does mean that there will now be women's hockey on my birthday as this year USA will face off against Germany in Group A action

We Launched a Shop

Since the Purple Trio returned from their first PWHL trip we've been hard at working improving the Purple Reign podcast as not only did we get a new brand and made all of our shows into their own podcast feeds we also launched a shop Yes that's right you can now buy Purple Reign merchandise, creating a shop is something I've seen other podcasters and YouTubers do including our friends at Jocks in Jills so I thought it was time for me to give it a go All the money we make will go towards financing all future trips to North America to visit all of the PWHL markets Visit our shop at Redbubble today - https://www.redbubble.com/people/p

Michigan's Pool

It's draft day in the PWHL and its the biggest one yet as we are literally stacked full of talent as more than 235 players declared for the draft including 23 players who represented eight different countries at this year's Olympics in MilanoBut the main talking point is Caroline "KK" Harvey is likely going to be the first overall draft pick selected by Gold Plan holders the Vancouver Goldeneyes and we will soon find out if Pluto is going to be the cat who got the cream

Public Document

Lady & Me discuss the decision to make PWHL players salaries a public document making it easy to see how much a particular player is being paid in the leagueWe have very mixed feelings about this especially as I wouldn't want my finances made public as they should be data protection laws in place as well

Sweet Deal

With the PWHL Entry Draft 2026 tomorrow in Detroit the entire Purple Trio shares their disgust at the order for the draft which has clearly favoured the four new teams despite the fact they've already had a chance at collecting good stockWhat's worse is both the Sirens and Sceptres have been royally screwed of their positions in the draft order as Gold Plan teams this could massice impact their draft plans with New York in particular
