Innocuous In Innisfil Has Moved

Good Morning #Canada
I'm in Toronto staying at my daughter's apartment and just on our way out for breakfast. This afternoon we're off to see the Toronto Sceptres take on the Seattle Torrent. First time for me at a #PWHL game and I'll update you later on my impressions.
Women's hockey in Canada has a long history dating back to the 1890s with teams supported by colleges and universities. They played in hoop skirts because hockey pants would have been scandalous, but originally hitting was allowed.
The attached article reports on a golden era during #WWI when Women's Hockey had some commercial success. Actually it was about exploitation and the commercial success only benefited the male organizers.

Awesome game today. Totally sold out with announced attendance at 8,270. Good tickets, roughly $200 for 2, in the visitors end which meant we saw all the goals.
The crowd was 90% female with a lot of young girls wearing Sceptres gear. Great energy in the fan base.
The Sceptres have a lot of support from the #LGBTQ community in Toronto. My daughter, who works for #RainbowRailroad, has told me they are trying to set up a special fundraising night in 2027 because of that community fan base.

Almost forgot, #Sceptres won 2 - 0 versus the Seattle Torrent. Toronto was outplayed for the first few minutes but managed to score early in the 1st. It then became a goalie duel.
The Torrent poured on the pressure in the 2nd... get it... Torrent... poured on...
Toronto scored with 7 seconds left in the game when Seattle pulled their goalie. Very exciting game and the right team won.
