On this edition of the Olympic Hockey Show the Purple Trio reacts to the new rule change which sees neck guards being mandatory for the Winter Olympics for the very first timeThis is something we all agree on however Lady and I can't shake the fact that is in response to a horrible tragedy that happened in 2023 rather than it being done to help improve the gameThe incident in question happened at a game in England which means because of my mental health I can't go into it but I'll leave

We're Not Going Back

Purple Reign ·

2025/11/27

Following the Ottawa City Council's vote the PWHL sent a strong message that they will not play at Landsdowne 2.0 as they feel the players have worked too hard to get to where they are and that we're not going backThe Purple Trio whole heartedly agree with that as we give our thoughts on the latest response as well as me reading out a statement by the Charge's GM to the fans

Charge Blown

Purple Reign ·

2025/11/26

It's finally time for me to blow a fuse about my feelings about Landsdowne 2.0 getting approved and a word of warning this is going to be an emotionally charged, fiery and sweary showI love this league and I want all teams to succeed and so in my book when you attack one of us you attack all of us and I am sending all my love to the Ottawa Charge as no one deserves to go through this trust me I have the scars to prove it

Just Another Banner

Purple Reign ·

2025/11/25

On Opening Night our Minnesota Frost hoisted its second Walter Cup banner to the rafters of Grand Casino Arena however this time round it didn't emotionally hit me as last year did as the on the inside I was crying but they didn't show on the outsideThe Purple Trio firmly believe this was the4 fault of the league given the excitement was rightly in Vancouver and to top it all Pluto felt the idea of the championship jerseys wasn't excuted well and suggests what we should have done

Our Own Tradition

Purple Reign ·

2025/11/20

The jersey situation for the Torrent & Goldeneyes created very mixed messaging given how they would use the generic PWHL jerseys for Year 1 despite getting their names and brands in placeI fly solo to explain my reasons on why I believe this actually be a tradition for the PWHL going forward for all future expansions given how it has helped for teams to develop that bond and connection with their cities

Mouthing Off MilanOn this edition of the Olympic Hockey Show things get mouthy towards the comments made by the NHL commissioner who viced his concerns about the ice at the arenas that will be used in MilanGiven the NHL's track record and relations towards international play this doesn't surprise me one but but it does anger me as this doesn't help matters especially as the men don't head to Milan until Feb 11 whereas our girls will be there from Feb 5

Alarm bells are ringing in Chage Avenue as there are fears that TD Place could be demolished and replaced with a smaller arena with less capacityThis is an outrage as the both the PWHL & the Charge have said this is not acceptable but their concerns are being ignored by city officials and the mayor of Ottawa who clearly don't care about the one thing that has Ottawa on a map right now
