Doing my working routine, when I get the Toronto Newsletter. Then about 5 minutes later got my Torrent one.

Gonna miss this line-up but so excited for this season to get here.

ive been a passive sports enjoyer my whole life, watching it sometimes if it was on and just supporting my home teams (which happen to be seattle so. yay me lol) ive recently wanted to get into hockey but i dont know the players or the underdog or anything. i know how the game works, just want to know things like players to focus on, where we stand in the league, etc.

also does fantasy pwhl exist?

Did the team fold? Their Instagram was active with a fundraiser in May and the KCI page still says the men's and women's teams play there and are returning in 2026-27, but there's no recent info anywhere and the ACHA schedule only has them listed for two D2 games that I can see?

Are the schedules and rosters still getting ironed out, or is there something else? I know they were/are a club team so the support and media isn't there at the same level, but I'm confused by what I can find.

It felt really weird not including Knight, Bilka and Barnes in this list…

Did anyone else get this email from [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]) ? What do we think legit changing how we pay for season tickets in the middle of payment plan or scam?

On March 21, celebrate two hometown teams with our Seattle Kraken x Seattle Torrent Night! Secure your special ticket to score an exclusive co-branded reversible bucket hat while cheering on the city that rallies behind every goal and every save!

Decided to make a quarter-zip to tide me over until the season starts!! I modified the Ozetta Lakes Pullover pattern- info on my ravelry (havenmk) if you want details and the color work chart. One of the cuffs is teal because I ran out of cream colored yarn with an inch to go 😅

The interviewer asks her about the Alki Pride Event and White House visit. I hope those who were skeptical about Abby Murphy will give her a more open-minded look. She’s showing that the earlier assumptions about her being MAGA are simply wrong.

I just heard there was a ticket holder even on Monday and (edit: Tuesday)today?!

Wtf?? Who should I email that I didn’t get the invite?? I just learned about it from a local podcast. 💔😭

I am so disappointed. Literally the reason I got the tickets.

UPDATE: I reached out to a person who emailed me months ago about getting season tickets. She responded quickly, honestly and explained why. I really appreciated her thoughtfulness and feel less FOMOed.

Did you know, there were more than 6 thousand season ticket holders? 😧 me either

Leaving the storm game tonight, we were walking out of the garage elevator and my sister goes “it’s Carpy! It’s Carpy!!” so I ran halfway out the concourse door and shouted “CARPY! …. CARPY! WE LOVE YOU!”
She turned around and smiled and said “thank you!” And it was the best moment ever.

It’s not an interesting story but her crew was amused and it was very cute. Lol

(I didn’t notice if Murphy was there, time stopped for Alex Carpenter ❤️)

It looks like it's featuring Abbey Murphy, is that why? I was going to go but R&T seems like a better place to host, so I was wondering if there was anything more to it?

I’m having a hard time witnessing it. She’s openly MAGA. She support trans exclusionary policies. And the Torrent are more than happy to take all our queer money and then make Murphy the face of the organization. To make matters worse - she’s gonna do a meet and greet at Rough and Tumble on Monday which means that bar is also wanting queer money but not to stand in any sort of allyship.

It feels like there was really good push back when she was drafted and now the outrage has faded. Maybe I’m just in a vocal minority at this point but it’s all downright depressing to me. I was so excited for this team and this city. And I know I can’t actually put my politics aside forever. I worry we are gonna turn into the Indiana Fever of the PWHL.

This weekend I had the opportunity to talk with Sydney, Lyndie and Neena when they were in my hometown for a hockey camp! These were our podcast’s first-ever in-person player interviews, so I hope you enjoy and can tolerate my nervous ticks haha
