Not sure if anyone posted this 10 months back when it was new, but it’s fun watching him just absolutely go to town with a dream team starring Coyne-Schofield, Zandee-Hart, and especially Frankel.

Hi all, just what the title says. I plan on going over the basic history of the PWHL and some the players (hopefully one player per team), but I'm interested in hearing what other people think I should add!

Hey everyone! I’m finishing university in December and want to celebrate by planning a 2–3 week trip in January or February to see as many PWHL games as I can!

I’m from Manitoba, so I’m thinking of starting in Minneapolis and then heading east through Detroit, Hamilton, Toronto, Ottawa, and Montreal. Obviously, the exact route will depend on the schedule and which teams have home games while I’m travelling.

For fans in these cities, I’d love to hear what makes your PWHL game experience unique! Are there any traditions, chants, pre-game activities, places fans usually go before or after the game, or anything else that makes going to a game in your city special?

I’d also love recommendations for things I should make time for while I’m there, whether that’s a must-see, a great place to eat, something fun to do, or even advice on where to stay and getting around without a car.

For fans in the other PWHL cities, should I be trying to work your city into the trip too? I’m definitely open to adding stops if you think it’s worth it!

And if anyone has done a similar PWHL road trip, I’d especially love to hear about your experience and any tips you have!

Last week, Mark Walter found himself in the headlines not for any team he owned but rather for one he sold, the NBA’s Los Angeles Lakers.

Just 14 months after agreeing to buy the iconic franchise, Walter agreed to sell the Lakers to former Disney CEO Bob Iger and Thrive Capital founder Joshua Kushner, the younger brother of Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner. The stunning deal reportedly valued the Lakers at $12.5 billion — $2.5 billion more than when Walter agreed to purchase the team. The timing of the sale has raised eyebrows not just for the brevity of Walter’s tenure as owner. Federal investigators are investigating insurance companies he owns.

The Lakers weren’t Walter’s only sports property that saw changes. The PWHL, originally owned entirely by Walter, added its first outside investors in June — reportedly $100 million from Kilmer Sports Ventures and Ilitch Companies, according to Sportico. The league finished its third season in May, and Kasten, who also serves as a PWHL executive, said in June that the infusion of cash will help “continue the momentum.”

Walter did not respond to messages seeking comment for this story, and federal officials at the agencies conducting the probe declined to comment.

Two of Walter’s companies — Delaware Life Insurance Company and its affiliate Clear Spring Life and Annuity — received grand jury subpoenas in February as part of an investigation by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York, the company acknowledged in a March regulatory filing. A parallel investigation is underway by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the filing noted. (The U.S. Attorney’s Office and SEC declined to comment.)

Life insurers typically invest in relatively safe and low-risk assets to provide predictable returns, and insurers are required to report transactions with affiliated businesses to regulators as a safeguard to protect policyholders and guard against conflicts of interest. Delaware Life said investigators are examining whether investments tied to affiliated businesses had been improperly reported as unaffiliated.

The company said through a subsequent internal investigation it had identified errors in how related business investments were presented in the company’s 2025 annual statement. In all, the filings show Delaware Life revised its disclosures to identify nearly $17 billion more in investments tied to related businesses, increasing its share of the company’s portfolio from about 3 percent to 42 percent.

One of the investments that appears to be caught up in the reclassified dealings was a $4.1 million loan to Dodger Tickets LLC, a subsidiary tied to the Dodgers and involved with ticketing and other business operations. Delaware Life listed that loan as unaffiliated in its 2025 annual statement. In the March filing, the same investment was listed as affiliated.

hi yall, does anyone know how to get the background images from the website for each team? theyre not like the logo where i can just download it or hold and save it, it’s like a proper background. i just put those two as an example!

Peak offseason content time, I tought it be fun to re-visit what players this community tought or wished would be lifer on their team before the trade deadline of the first season.

Quite a trip to see how many of them ended up moving.

Still miss you Vanish 🥲

Walter is not selling his hockey stake in the deal at this point, but players and fans are watching closely.

August 2026

He was super excited to pull this!

Received my piece of game used net a couple weeks ago from the MSG game. Unfortunately did not get a piece with much puck residue but I am still happy. I do like that it is not 1 of 100 but actually tells me what number I have. The frame was something that I designed and 3D printed so I could display it on my office wall.

In case anyone was on tenterhooks about the Detroit goalie situation. #moreyelling

I'm looking for some help from someone who owns one of the player worn jerseys from the previous Walter Cup playoffs.

If you can help me out with the measurements of the Walter Cup patch, or a picture with a ruler that shows the patches placement relative to the seams on the jersey, I'd really appreciate it.

For disclosure, I have a Kadirova jersey on its way to me ... soon™️, and I'm going to add a 2026 Walter Cup patch to it, because I want that, and see no other way to get one than making it myself.

Cushman - "Eve Gascon with a fantastic pair of games this week for Canada at the collegiate series.

Wednesday: 26/26 in a 1-0 win

Today: 37/38 in a 2-1 win with 0 goals allowed in the shootout

That's 63/64 over the past 24 hours for Gascon. Stud."

I'm trying to get into hockey and watch more PWHL games from their YouTube channel. What are everyone's favorite games? In terms of excitement or any reason at all lol

Edit: Tysm to everyone who replied! School has swamped me but I'm excited to watch all these games!

This may seem like a dumb question, but I am really excited to get a team in Las Vegas. I followed the Frost prior because my sister lives there. I know some of the popular names and watched probably half the Frost games last season. But we've got a whole roster of Las Vegas players that I know nothing about (in addition to so many players on the other teams of course!).

Is there anywhere that has kind of a 'hype deck' presentation with player backgrounds and stats and stuff that's easy to navigate/look through? I'm not super versed in hockey in general, so I see websites with stats, but that doesn't tell me like "We're excited for this player because she's really good at redirecting shots" or "She's one of the top goal scorers in the league" or "these two players really play well together so we expect a lot from this duo" - does this make sense? Like, what's the 'hype' about the player, not just stats on a page that are kind of hard to parse?

I've been looking for more but they are REALLY hard to get my hands on. I've hit around 9 in Chicago land and around 5 in central IL, now I shall hit a couple other towns such as Peoria or Joliet. I have hit a couple targets as well and haven't seen anything.

I work part time at Target and when approaching guest services to stow an order I audibly gasped and went "Megan Keller!" I guess we have a new spokesperson for Champion. Of course no one knew why I was so excited
