LISTEN TO THE STORIES OF FEMALE HOCKEY TRAILBLAZERS LIKE BRIANNE JENNER, EMMA MALTAIS AND MANON RHÉAUME, WHO ARE REDEFINING WOMEN’S ROLE IN PROFESSIONAL SPORTS

 

Celebrating the inaugural season of the Professional Women’s Hockey League (PWHL)

 

We’re excited to highlight a groundbreaking moment: the inaugural season of the Professional Women’s Hockey League (PWHL). This not only marks a significant breakthrough for women in professional sports but also a pivotal step toward gender equity across industries. 

Female athletes have historically faced challenges like limited visibility and inadequate funding. The PWHL is changing the game, offering a professional platform for women to showcase their talents and initiating a shift towards equality in sports. The league’s success, with record-breaking attendance, proves that gender should never be a barrier to opportunities or success. This progress is significant for women across all industries, emphasizing the broader impact of gender equity.

TBIF’s PWHL podcast miniseries: presented by GoodLife Fitness

To mark this pivotal moment, we’ve launched a special podcast miniseries presented by GoodLife Fitness. Discover our latest episodes showcasing the unique opportunities for women hockey players to create their own narratives and inspire the younger generation, while reflecting on the league’s influence.

This series captures the remarkable journey of the PWHL as it broke new ground for women’s hockey and beyond. The league quickly cemented its place in the hearts of hockey fans across North America and inspired the next generation of female athletes. We explore key moments that defined the PWHL’s first season and its broader impact on women’s sports, emphasizing how this league represents progress and shattered glass ceilings. With the WNBA coming to Toronto, a new professional women’s soccer league announced for Canada, and increased attendance for women in sports, we are at a crossroads. The Brand is Female is proud to celebrate a monumental step forward for women’s hockey and the incredible potential of women athletes everywhere.
