It's been a while! This week Lauren couldn't join us, but Tay and Alice did their best to keep up with everything that's been going on.

And we forgot to mention it but Lauren wants you to vote for Natalie Spooner on Battle Of The Blades, which you can do here.

IMPORTANT NOTE: This was recorded before the CWHL announced it was ceasing operations. In retrospect it's kinda sad, but hey we said we'd do a drunk episode so here it is!

This week we sit down to talk about the highs and lows of the CWHL All Star Game, the tragedy of the Whale, and whether or not the NWHL actually knows what their own rules are. We also dive into the less than stellar treatment of the media by the CWHL, and what we as fans want to see in the future. Will we ever be happy?

In this episode, we talk about the NWHL draft, Shannon Miller leaving the Inferno, other coaching issues, and what our individual goal songs would be. We also touch on mainstream's media apparent inability to properly cover women's pro hockey. Also, Natalie Spooner doesn't know any Game of Thrones characters, and you know what? That's valid.

It's been a while folks...sorry? Anyways, we're back and we're gonna spend the next few episodes reviewing rink benches. Buckle up. Ok, for real, we talk about the Riveters underwhelming new coach, and the lack of transparency in the CWHL, and women's hockey as a whole. Oh, and Lauren met Hilary Knight!

Anyone else tired of Cassie Campbell hating on the NWHL? Us too! But that's not the only thing going on, it's free agency and...we don't know a whole lot about that, but we give it a go. Also, Lauren explains why the CWHL really doesn't need trades, Alice doesn't know anything about investing but talks about angel investors for some reason, and somewhere around 18:40 you can hear her cat meowing.

Remember when we weren't sure if Brianna Decker would play pro hockey this season? Yeah...well we were wrong. This week we went absolutely bonkers because Packaglino got engaged, Brenda Andress announced her retirment as CWHL commish, they quickly announced an interim replacement, and we try to make sense of the news of the women's hockey teams in China. And we plan a wedding.

In the second episode of our new podcast, we recap the SDHL finals (kinda), talk about advertising, continue our #OneLeague conversation and answer our very first listener questions! ...Yes the title is supposed to be spelled like that, it's a pun.
