New Vibes Based Hockey article! In this one, I discuss the closing of the PHF from a queer perspective. I go into the effect this has had on fans, myself, and even how it affects queer (especially trans) athletes.

The PWHL just announced job openings for six GMs. The deadline for application to the undisclosed cities for undisclosed wages is in nine days.
The PWHL/PWHPA is expected to announce the six markets their teams will play in this week. 3 Canadian. 3 American.
They’re expected to dump all the PHL team names, including: Boston because they didn’t like the “double entendre” in the term “Pride” 😬 and Minnesota, despite the team being the longest running franchise in pro women’s hockey and 1 year away from their 20th season.
Nous prenons le chemin d’une vraie ligue professionnelle féminine unifiée, suite au rachat (la disparition) de la #PHF par la #PWHPA, deux entités antagonistes. Pour le meilleur du #hockey féminin, c’est une certitude, mais à quel prix ? Après avoir installé le décor dans la 1ère partie, suite de notre série « la bataille d’une ligue ».

According to this:
#PWHPA filed to form a labor union (the paperwork may not yet be publicly available)
The CBA was negotiated before the #PHF purchase
It has 97 members
With 6 teams w/23 seats, there are at least 41 seats for players not who are yet members
Without seeing the CBA we don’t know what a lot of the language being tossed around means
New Vibes Based Hockey article: in this one, I discuss the PWHPA hostile takeover of the PHF. All the details of what happened and what this means for the players, and more importantly: why this is destructive to the sport.

If you're wondering what is happening in Women's Pro Hockey, the PHF has been acquired by the LA Dodgers' controlling owner, Mark Walter. The league will shutter and consolidate with PWHPA to create a unified women's hockey league that is expected to launch in January 2024.
The primary concern is what this does to PHF contracts. This will void all current contracts and provide all players with a minimum salary of $35,000.
Holy fuck. It looks like the PWHPA and PHF may be merging. Wow.
🇨🇭 #Switzerland star forward Alina Müller says she would like to keep playing in North America.
That could spark a bidding war for the Northeastern University grad's services at the pro level.
