WHKYHAC co-founder Carleen Markey getting some much-deserved recognition. So neat to see.
PWHL Hamilton GM Meghan Duggan credited an impressive group of consultants in helping through the expansion process: • Haley Skarupa - USA U18 GM • Brad Frost - Former Minnesota Gophers coach • Britni Smith - Team Canada assistant • Carleen Markey - New Jersey Devils analyst

Get caught up on Phase 2 of #PWHL expansion for the Minnesota Frost and look ahead to Phase 3 in my latest for @TheIceGarden Note: Grace Zumwinkle has been offered an EFO in Phase 2. If the Frost want to re-sign her, they’d need to do that in Phase 3. theixsports.com/the-ice-gard…

With today's news, here's a quick look at how #PWHL front offices stand - including five head coaching vacancies. (This assumes that all from last season are returning to their teams if we haven't heard anything to confirm otherwise.)

The #PWHL’s Toronto Sceptres have a lot of work to do this offseason, between signing free agents, protecting players through expansion and the PWHL draft. Add to that: hiring a new head coach. New for @TheIceGarden, I look at five potential candidates: theixsports.com/the-ice-gard…

Tremendous to see the PWHLPA make such a huge step with salary transparency. Some notes: - Figures reflect base salary in USD - Markets have variance in COL (cost of living) - No surprise with disparity - 10 players making six figures, 3 on OTT - Many making <$40k

When we get to a point where those who make the least are making enough to live on, it will be an amazing day for women's sports. The noteworthy length of the current CBA and its fixed incremental growth model means that won't be happening in the next few years.

I'm looking forward to one day reading books about sports data in women's hockey and seeing Mik's name all over them. A builder. A strategist. And, above all else, a good soul. I'm incredibly happy for him and Montreal.
Per @quarkyhockey - HUGE congrats to the brilliant @hunterofstats, who I believe is now the first analytics person to win a pro whockey championship :)
