Sure, this new league is upping salaries significantly, but with the shakeup of professional women’s hockey, won’t many of them have to disrupt their lives after the draft and replant themselves elsewhere? The #MNWhitecaps players not only have large fan bases but also social circles and families. Because of #patriarchy and #sexism I don’t think it will equate to the experience of what young male professional hockey players have had to do /5
It Happened! And I have thoughts, but first, here’s a good article that provides some context left out of the AP, ESPN, and other mainstream media stories:

I’m new to women’s hockey, thanks to the buzz about the #MNWhitecaps during a recent winter #Olympics …I think it was 2018. After that, we bought season tickets for the #NWHL Whitecaps and loved it!!
Between the pandemic, though, and now the buyout of the league, we’ve been missing our team and had hopes the new #PWHL (Prof’l Women’s Hockey League) would do right by the State of Hockey and include MN in the new roster of teams #WomensHockey 1/x
I'm still mad the Whitecaps moved on from these jerseys. Easily the best they ever had and ever will have. More hockey jerseys should strive to look like this:
