PHF Playoff Preview: Isobel Cup Final
Previewing the 2023 Isobel Cup Final between the Premier Hockey Federation's Minnesota Whitecaps & Toronto Six.
In light of the reckoning that needs to be happening in hockey this week, it seemed unconscionable to print this weekly installment as usual. College hockey is not exempt from these issues and is often the breeding ground for this type of culture. If we're going to celebrate that the NCAA is the development driver for women's international and pro hockey then we also need to own college hockey's role in creating, developing and harboring hurtful, hateful and dangerous ideas of misogyny, racism, homophobia, and other types of bigotry.
Today, instead of reading about this week's games, please take some time to read, learn and educate yourself today. Take some concrete steps to make hockey a better, safer, more accepting space.
🏒 THIS SUNDAY 🏒

Big Read: As the hockey world takes stock of its failings around systemic racism, the game’s Black women are making their voices heard.
