WE’VE GOT A WOMEN’S HOCKEY BLOG
!!!!
Yesterday we launched our 33rd SB Nation hockey blog: The Ice Garden, a home for all things women’s hockey. Pros. College. North America and abroad, with an army of passionate writers ready to tell stories and grow the game. Check out their welcome post (and say hello!) and read up on their launch articles:
- Former Buffalo Beauts player Hannah McGowan will be writing dispatches from her new team in Austria throughout the season. Here’s her first post.
- Kori Cheverie talks to the Garden about becoming the first female coach in a Canadian men’s university hockey league.
- The Garden previews two of the biggest names in women’s pro hockey: the Boston Pride’s quest to repeat as Isobel Cup champs, and how the Les Canadiennes plan to bounce back from a major collapse last season.
- Bookmark their women’s college hockey poll and check back each week!
- And much, much more. This is quite exciting.
