On Jan. 28, I was fired by The Seattle Times without warning. I’m shocked and disappointed and wish I had more answers. I have much more to say and hopefully will be back writing soon.
A few minutes ago I was informed the Boston Herald is eliminating my position.
Covering the Bruins was a dream come true. It's been the best experience of my life. It's really tough right now trying to think of not being a Bruins writer anymore.
Thanks for reading.
So this NCAA women’s tournament has included, just administratively:
- forcing a player to take out a nose ring she wore all season
- racist hotel situation for Utah
- an UNEVEN COURT
- ref conflict of interest with Chattanooga
- controversial officiating as it is
“Just quit twitter!”
Freelancers who depend on networks and communities on here to work and sell their work can’t do that without radically changing career paths! Unemployed and underemployed writers don’t have the same resources to just log off because they want to.
Some news — I’m joining
@SFChronicle
to cover women’s sports, enterprise, and hockey. Will begin writing in June, and I’ll be moving to the Bay Area later this summer. I am super excited to get started and join their sports department!
I’m thrilled to announce I’m joining the Seattle Times to cover the Kraken (and other sports!). Getting back on an NHL beat means the world to me. It’s all I’ve wanted to do these past 16 months. So I’m moving across the country to do it.
Some personal news:
I’m starting as an NHL writer at NBC at the end of the month!
My byline is still going to be everywhere — including some of the places you saw this week — for the foreseeable future as a freelancer, but I’m thrilled to be back in the NHL too.
i have some ideas for marketing, what if they let the players play in the Olympics or did a world cup of hockey or didn't cancel pride nights or didn't have graphics on the dasher boards mess up the broadcasts or staggered start times or got rid of blackouts or
Dreger on Insider Trading says the NHL may be looking at new ways to market the game next year, one idea is to have a weekday where all 32 teams play, targeting early in the season for this.
when men’s sports succeed they want to leave women to fend for themselves and say how there aren’t enough eyeballs or interest. but when women succeed men’s sports begs to be included and feels entitled to that success it has tried to repress. interesting.
joking aside ive been saying if sports targeted literally any other demographic but the traditional 19-50 year old men it would see genuine growth and we’re seeing proof of that idk
I don’t know I keep hearing people talk about how unacceptable this is for pro sports and then think about circumstances women’s athletes are expected to accept
I have some more news.
I’ll be covering the NWHL for Sportsnet! Will have coverage the entire bubble season and probably some other women’s hockey stuff.
We’re ready for puck drop over here.
Next time people tell you no one cares about women's sports, people voted a women's hockey game the best game in sports this year. The fans are saying this. The audience is there. People want to watch and hear about women's hockey.
This is Houyee Chow! She designed the awesome Sharks Pride jersey you’ll see tonight.
“I wanted to put a big emphasis on the trans community. That’s why I decided the shark would be in the trans colors. They have been the group that has been targeted the most.”
This took months and I can’t explain how difficult it was to finally make this happen but it was a story I was passionate about and fought for and I’m so glad it’s here
I can report that the NWHL is making it clear to everyone in the league that Barstool does not have any future in the league. There has never been an application filed to even start any real talk about ownership. One source said a formal bid would be quickly rejected by the board
Reporter: 🫶
Caitlin Clark: "You like that?"
Reporter: "I like that you're here."
Caitlin: "Yeah, I do that at my family after every game.”
Reporter: "Start doing it to me and we'll get along just fine."
Caitlin: 😳

I’m told by sources in Lake Placid the NWHL league office is disgusted by the video. Expect a statement before the games start tonight, possibly a media availability. Their first priority has been handling it internally with players, GMs, coaches and staff.
Well. I have some news.
I joined the
@BostonHerald
two weeks ago, and I'm excited to announce I am joining the Boston Bruins beat full-time.
Can't even begin to express how surreal it still feels, and I'm ready to be at the rinks and bringing the Bruins news.
I don't know who needs to hear this but the NHL and its teams absolutely can afford to have a season and pay players and employees, they just can't do it without taking a loss (which would marginally affect any billionaire, tbh) and they don't want to do that.
Stanford has been in the top 10 in the last year in women’s basketball, volleyball, beach volleyball, gymnastics, soccer, softball, swimming, cross country, and water polo, and men’s soccer, baseball, gymnastics, volleyball, rowing, water polo and I’m sure I’m missing some
Stanford is great at some sports including women's hoops but got left out of conference realignment bc their football program doesn't generate enough money, more like SilUCONN Valley
