Shayna Goldman from The Athletic joins the guys to discuss several storylines from around the hockey world, including the latest surrounding Professional Women's Hockey League expansion and why Edmonton has yet to land a franchise despite being one of hockey's strongest markets.

Sports superfans may seem to have been born bleeding their teams’ colors, but really, they’re created. It happens around formative events: a buzzer-beating come-from-behind win, a once-in-a-generation athlete or a championship season. This year probably saw a few Seattle uberfans get converted during the Seahawks’ dominating Superbowl performance. Tonight, some more sports fanatics may be formed. Game 4 of the Professional Women’s Hockey League finals begins in a few hours, and new champions could be crowned. Sadly, Seattle’s PWHL team, the Torrent, is not among those vying for the title. But the team still managed to capture its own share of superfans during their inaugural season. One of those is our producer Jason Burrows. If you’ve noticed that we mentioned the Torrent a lot this year, it’s because of him. We decided to let him have one more go, talking about his new favorite team. We were more than a little surprised to learn how far he has fallen.

What happens when something that once felt impossible suddenly feels… normal? In this short solo episode of Real Women's Work, Jen shares a deeply personal experience attending a sold-out Professional Women's Hockey League game with her daughter — and the unexpected moment that stopped her cold: sitting in traffic outside the arena realizing all those people were there to watch women play hockey. For girls who grew up as athletes in the 90s, hearing "nobody watches women's sports" was constant background noise. This episode reflects on what it means to witness real cultural change in real time — packed arenas, young girls wearing jerseys, fans debating player stats, and women athletes finally being treated as simply… athletes. It's about visibility. Progress. Generational change. And the powerful things that happen when girls grow up seeing what's possible. Topics include: Growing up as a female athlete in the 90s The emotional impact of attending a sold-out PWHL game Why visibility changes ambition The connection between sports, culture, and possibility What daughters inherit from the women who came before them If you've ever wondered whether cultural progress is real — this episode is a reminder that sometimes you can feel it happening around you.

(40:20) Atlantic Division Outlook Why Yzerman has to choose between hyper-aggression and patience this offseason, with no realistic middle ground due to the Dylan Larkin/Alex DeBrincat window.

Detroit is having a week full of newness — and we've got all of it. PWHL Detroit is officially happening: the city's new Professional Women's Hockey League franchise will play at Little Caesar's Arena starting in the 2026–2027 season, in black, silver, and a hint of Red Wings red.

Norris Howard weighs in on the collapse of Spirit Airlines — plus, the case for trains over short-haul flights. Downtown development: The historic 1908 Ford Building on Griswold — a Daniel Burnham Chicago-style gem — is headed to auction at just 14% occupancy, raising questions about what it takes to bring Detroit's financial district back to life. [Crain's Detroit] Jer and Norris dream big: 100,000 people in 7.2 square miles, a Trader Joe's in the State Savings Bank, and density done right. Bedrock's Belle — a 1926 Beaux Arts building on Broadway — is now accepting pre-lease tours on its 42 newly finished units. And coming soon to Southwest Detroit at 2545 Bagley: Tigris, a hi-fi listening bar with a custom Bing Audio sound system, vinyl DJ sets, Middle Eastern-inspired cocktails, and a daytime café to boot. Finally, Jer is moderating a panel at the free Business of Food Summit on May 18th at the Marrow in the Market — all about what it takes to make Michigan a true culinary destination, and what Michelin recognition could mean for the state.

Jean-Paul Danneberg ist mit 23 Europameister, Weltmeister und Olympia-Silbermedaillengewinner im Hockey – und wurde letztes Jahr zum jüngsten Welttorhüter aller Zeiten gekürt.Im Gespräch mit Mark erzählt der deutsche Nationaltorwart, wie er schon mit 13 Jahren das Ziel "Welttorwart" auf Zettel geschrieben und seinen Karriereweg Schritt für Schritt daran ausgerichtet hat – bis hin zu dem Moment im Olympia-Finale 2024, als er nach dem entscheidenden Penalty-Gegentreffer auf dem Boden lag und ein niederländischer Spieler ihm von hinten auf den Hinterkopf tippte. Was danach passierte und wie das Treffen mit dem niederländischen Spieler danach aussah – und warum die mediale Geschichte, die daraus wurde, so nicht stimmte – ordnet Jean-Paul selbst ein.Außerdem: Warum er heute ab und zu mit Jonas Urbig in Kontakt ist, wie sein Alltag als Bundeswehr-Sportsoldat zwischen zweimal täglichem Training, Bundesliga und Fernstudium aussieht, und was er bei der Hockey League in Indien erlebt hat – von der Pferdeauktion-Draft vor dem Fernseher bis zum Eröffnungsspiel mit vollem Feuerwerk und 400 Zuschauern.Dazu seine mentalen Werkzeuge: Atemübungen, ein stiller Augenkontakt-Anker mit seinem Co-Trainer vor Ecken – und wie er jahrelangen Selbsthass im Tor irgendwann in Antrieb umgewandelt hat.Jean-Paul DannebergInstagramLinkedInKontaktwww.bta-pod.comMark HartmannFolge uns aufYouTubeInstagramTikTok

Nicole Jones is the founder of Little Red Riding Hood, Inc., and today she joins us to talk about the hidden crisis of senior transportation in rural communities. Her story shows how one human moment can spark a solution that strengthens healthcare access, local economies, and community belonging. This episode is a testimony to how one moment and one person can inspire change, and a reminder to protect those who came before us so we can be stronger, more whole communities.  About Nicole: I am a 35-year-old who has made it her life's mission to help seniors in rural areas after finding a blind senior man lost in the middle of the road. My passions include weight lifting, writing (I have a novel coming out soon as a hopeful way to raise funds for the company), and the Professional Women's Hockey League (go Montreal Victoire!). I live in the small town of Bigler, PA, with my four rescue cats, two turkeys, and twelve ducks. In this episode, we cover: How a chance encounter with a stranded senior sparked a rural transportation startup Why senior mobility is directly tied to rural economic health What makes rural transportation different from Uber or Lyft How technology can work with seniors instead of around them Why honoring aging residents is critical to growing small towns Links + Resources Mentioned: Website: www.LRRHINC.com Email: Nicole@lrrhinc.com Phone number: 412-376-5145 LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/nicoleelizabethjones Want to get your business in front of our audience?

So, the NFL and I have been living apart for a bit, but they called me up and asked if I'd be interested in doing Packers @ Lions, Chiefs @ Cowboys and Bengals @ Ravens and then when we wake up in the morning we can do Bears @ Eagles.

How do you build a professional women's hockey league from the ground up — and convince the sport's best players, skeptical investors, and hungry fans that this time it's built to last? CBC Sports journalist Karissa Donkin, author of "Breakaway: The PWHL and the Women Who Changed the Game," helps us dive into the backstory of the incredible Professional Women's Hockey League. Donkin traces the roots of the PWHL back to the collapse of the Canadian Women's Hockey League in 2019 and the rise of the Professional Women's Hockey Players' Association, whose “Dream Gap” tours kept women's hockey in the spotlight when no stable league existed. She also unpacks the complicated legacy of North American professional women's leagues: the original National Women's Hockey League (1999–2007), and the later NWHL launched in 2015 — the first U.S.-based league to pay salaries — which eventually rebranded as the Premier Hockey Federation (PHF). The overlap of these leagues, combined with the PWHPA's touring circuit, splintered talent and divided attention, but it also highlighted what was missing: a single, unified, and financially sustainable league. These years of struggle, advocacy, and experimentation ultimately set the stage for the PWHL's 2023 launch. We'll explore how the Mark Walter Group, Billie Jean King, and a coalition of powerful allies turned that vision into reality, and why the league's first collective bargaining agreement matters so much for players seeking true professional standards. Donkin also unpacks the drama and exhilaration of the inaugural 2024 season — from record-breaking crowds to the intensity of Boston–Montreal showdowns — and explains how the league is balancing rapid growth with the need for long-term sustainability. Finally, we look ahead: what does expansion to markets like Vancouver and Seattle mean for the league's future? How will the PWHL navigate the ongoing battles for sponsorship, broadcast exposure, and cultural relevance in a crowded sports marketplace? And most importantly, how will the next generation of girls growing up with the PWHL on TV — and in their hometown arenas — reshape what professional hockey looks like in North America? + + +   SUPPORT THE SHOW:  Buy Us a Coffee: https://ko-fi.com/goodseatsstillavailable The "Good Seats" Store: https://www.teepublic.com/?ref_id=35106 BUY THE BOOK (AND SUPPORT THE SHOW!): "Breakaway: The PWHL and the Women Who Changed the Game": https://amzn.to/3IL81bu SPONSOR THANKS (AND SUPPORT THE SHOW!):  Old School Shirts.com (10% off promo code: GOODSEATS): https://oldschoolshirts.com/goodseats Royal Retros (10% off promo code: SEATS): https://www.503-sports.com?aff=2 FIND AND FOLLOW: Linktree: https://linktr.ee/GoodSeatsStillAvailable Web: https://goodseatsstillavailable.com/ Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/goodseatsstillavailable.com X/Twitter: https://twitter.com/GoodSeatsStill YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@goodseatsstillavailable Threads: https://www.threads.net/@goodseatsstillavailable Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/goodseatsstillavailable/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/GoodSeatsStillAvailable/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/good-seats-still-available/

In part two, law enforcement narrows in on Kota Youngblood and his scheme to steal millions of dollars from neighbors and fellow hockey league parents. His cruel lies have many believing that his life and, in some cases, their own lives are in danger from a Mexican drug cartel. The stories are so convincing that some victims are hesitant to talk to the FBI.

Kota Youngblood is known as a larger-than-life character in his small Texas town, spinning wild tales of military service and work as an undercover federal agent to his neighbors and acquaintances from his son's hockey league. His deceptions – from investments in rare coins and sports memorabilia to stories about drug cartels and kidnappings – steal millions and send one family into hiding.
