sometimes i hate being a woman because i just realized i’ve been living vicariously through so many nhl players this entire time because i will literally never make it to that level of professional hockey even though it’s always been my dream. like no matter how hard i work at it or how bad i want it, i will never be good enough because of my gender. it hurts so much to think about the fact that even 100 years from now there will probably still not be room for women in the nhl. little girls will continue to grow up with unachievable dreams because there is nothing in place for them to achieve them. the PWHL only had their inaugural draft this past season. we are over 100 years behind. currently the most you will probably make in the PWHL is $80,000 a year and the average nhl player gets paid $3.5 million per year. that means the HIGHEST PAID women in the PWHL will be paid 43.75 times less than the AVERAGE nhl player. currently, the highest paid nhl player receives $12.6 million per year. 157.5 times less. i’m not even angry about this. it’s just heartbreaking to sit down and think about it sometimes.
the pwhl youtube streams of the games are all unlisted so i'm gonna be compiling them in this google doc!! sharing for preservation and so other people can get clips if they want
as of posting this (Jan 16th 1am est) i have all games linked that i can (up to jan 14th new york vs minnesota)!! gonna try to keep this updated as well as i can
This is incredibly concerning. A big part of the PWHL is that players wanted the ability to have a day in their contracts, have a cba that allowed them to keep the league accountable, and of course make a living wage. We the PHF for this? Players having to sign a waiver? Not getting PAID? This is some serious bullshit.
