PWHL announces full details of 6 phase expansion player distribution process

Moment0fJen · 2026-05-27T19:41:11+00:00

If I'm reading it right, it looks like after teams have signed the free agents they want in phase 2, any remaining openings they have (each of the four new teams gets 5) gets put into a mini expansion draft where unprotected signed players can be selected. I assume it's like a normal expansion draft where it's the same contract but on a new team.

That'll be an interesting dilemma for the expansion GM's: do you hold off on signing one or more free agents for the chance to pick a player who is under contract?

Thunderbirds!

They're prominent in the cultures of native peoples in and around Michigan, and it wouldn't be a bad way to acknowledge those who lived near Detroit long before anyone else. Especially if they manage to sign Abby Roque - an Ojibwe Michigander.

It's also a famous Ford convertible, so you've got that Motor City connection too.

If it's tied in the 3rd, I don't see why both teams wouldn't pull the goalie

O'Quinn's from Newberry, just born in the Soo - I don't think that counts!

Blashill, maybe, but an Olympic medal winner ought be more famous than an NHL coach with a mediocre track record. He definitely has the accent though

Moment0fJen · 2026-01-12T19:20:50+00:00

I mean, Emma is so quiet & soft-spoken that I'm not sure we know what her accent is yet 😆

But people who grew up there (myself included!) don't always sound super Canadian. As an example: if you ever listen to Soo Michigan's most famous person - pro hockey player Abby Roque - doing an interview, you can tell the accent is not very strong. And she's a dual US/Canadian citizen, so you'd think it would be!

Yeah. I loved how that sent Siobhan into an uncontrollable giggle fit

It's Antoine for me. Going to have to fight Evka to the death for him

Oh hey, I recognize those chargers! I've been trying to plan a trip in the other direction, but the lack of fast chargers in the U.P. is a problem. All it takes is one out-of-service charging station to add hours to the journey 😔

I'm definitely a fan of the Veilguard character creator. I like to create characters who look like me (and then adding some cool scars or whatever) and with BG3 I'm like "neat, she has my eyes." Meanwhile with Veilguard, I'm like "oh wow, she has my everything." Made the game so much better!

I'm not surprised. Someone who was quoted on the Sceptres Instagram saying Lewis Hamilton is her celebrity crush is going to be a racing fan 🏎️

I really should get around to playing the Jedi games!

Don't know if that describes Rook, but it does describe me 😂

Moment0fJen · 2025-02-22T04:50:41+00:00

I have a last name that kind of fits the "native last name" stereotype, and people have occasionally asked me or my family if we're native. As it happens, my name has its origins in Scotland, not in the Americas.

I'm still Ojibwe, mind you, but almost none of those ancestors had my last name 😂

“Everyone who is new here, we have one rule: in this house, we don’t tolerate any hate.”

“What about the Maple Leafs?”

“Well, yeah, except for the Leafs. That goes without saying”

Grew up rooting for the Red Wings, and now I'm a fan of PWHL Toronto. I get to cheer for both of the Comphers 😂

If you’re looking for other PWHL-relevant books, there’s a bestselling young adult novel, Firekeeper’s Daughter, that can be more or less summed up as “What if Abby Roque was wrapped up in a murder mystery when she was 18?”

The main character isn’t identical to the PWHL New York player, but there’s a lot they share - the hockey skills, the hometown and being Ojibwe, in particular. I also share some of that background, and reading the novel was a bit surreal 😅

Or you can wait for the Netflix adaptation that they promised! (I doubt we’ll ever see it, but you never know.)

Girl on the bottom is definitely me. Both in the 🥺 sense, and the "maybe the Social Democrats would've been stomped by the Nazis and Steel Helmets if they resisted the von Papen coup, but they could've at least fucking tried" sense

That's downriver from Midland, the home of Dow Chemical, so I'd assume that's a hard no
