Purple Posts: Episode 4
It's a brief history of women playing hockey on men's teams on this episode with LJ and guest Geremy.
We’re back with another episode of Purple Posts, the podcast about the memorable, funny, and sometimes just strange moments in women's hockey history. Hosted by TIG writer LJ Bachenheimer, Purple Posts is for the people who love a Wikipedia rabbit hole. In each episode, LJ will have a guest on to trade stories and drop lore on some of the wilder moments from the world of women's hockey.
If you’re the kind of fan who’s been known to dual-screen PWHL games and NHL games, you’ll like this episode. Just in time for the NHL regular season, LJ is joined by TIG’s own Geremy to dive into a brief history of women’s hockey players who played on men’s hockey teams. From legends of the game like Shannon Szabados, Noora Räty, and Manon Rheaume, to names you might not recognize, each woman who appeared on the ice with a men’s team has a unique story and a list of achievements in the women’s game that can make even groundbreaking moments seem like mere footnotes in their careers. LJ and Geremy discuss these players’ stories and careers, with some brief detours into lost moments in women’s hockey and several hilarious minor league team names.
