Top Shelf Episode 51: Streaming and dreaming

Michelle and Hannah are back together!

Hello and welcome to Top Shelf, where we keep the hot takes and the hard liquor!

This is a podcast where Michelle Jay and Hannah Bevis have a couple drinks, get a little tipsy, and talk about the biggest stories in women’s hockey. We talk about a little bit of everything on this podcast from the NCAA to the NWHL and CWHL to U Sports and SDHL and AWIHL and whatever else comes up.

Michelle and Hannah are back together! It takes a bit of time to get into the episode, as they got a tiny bit distracted to open the podcast. But, this week they talked streaming and broadcast in women’s hockey. They break down the pros and cons of the different ways leagues stream, discuss what model they’d want to see, and dream up a new way to package games. A mailbag question gets them both a little heated too.
