🇯🇵 🏆 The triumph at #SheBelieves is commendable in itself, but what did it tell us about Nielsen’s vision for Nadeshiko Japan? ✍️ In my latest for @JapanTimes.co.jp I examine the key takeaways from a superbly well managed campaign. www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2025/...

The PWHL looks good on you, Edmonton!!

It’s finally GAME DAY! 🏒🥅 Been waiting months for this & the 18,000+ sold out Rogers Place is going to be wild!

This is exciting! Wonder if we’ll be able to watch broadcasts or streams in North America 🤔

👀

The legendary Ágnes Keleti 🇭🇺, who survived the Holocaust and went on to win five Olympic titles during the 1950s, has died a week shy of her 104th birthday. May she rest in peace. 🕊️

This team’s inspirational story had waited to be told for decades. It found a passionate chronicler in Dr. James. Zoom in on the first para and you’ll want more 😉

The key word here is exclusive. All Netflix, no TV 🚫 📺

I guess I'm officially on here now. Excited to share that I'm moving into the role of Head of Global Women's Soccer at @theathletic.bsky.social. I'll spare you the corporate speak, but I look forward to growing our coverage and community alike. www.nytco.com/press/promot...

The point made in the article about the myriad impacts of venue ownership and/or primary tenancy has parallels across other women’s pro sports & in different ways at amateur levels #womenssports

x.com/togethxr/sta... The NWSL championship had TWICE as many viewers as the MLS championship! Women's sports are sprinting ahead of men's sports. In the future, no one will believe the nonsense the trolls were saying in the early 21st century!

Lopusanova added a touch of spice to her 4 goal, 1 assist total. Just 16 years of age & already a 2026 Wisconsin commit 😎

🇨🇦 ATHLETE OF THE YEAR Here’s the moment Summer McIntosh received the phone call letting her know she’s the Northern Star winner as Canada’s athlete of the year. And she wins it on the night she broke the world record for gold and then won bronze with her team on the relay.

Let’s go Brazil!! ✈️ ⚽️

The franchises for the new Women’s Lacrosse League were unveiled today: Boston Guard California Palms Maryland Charm New York Charging

ATTN: CANADA SPORTS TYPES: I've put together an initial Canadian Sports Media Starter pack. If you are not here, please know it's nothing personal. Just my best attempt at an initial run. I'll keep updating the list. This is Part I and there will def. be a Part 2. bsky.app/starter-pack...

The top @EASPORTS #NHL25 PWHL player ratings are in. 📈 Who will you play as first in @EASPORTSNHL? 👀

“The games instantly became less visible, less accessible, less user friendly, with less revenue potential, and a vastly smaller potential audience on the platform.” 👀 It’s more than a sophomore slump, it’s a high-risk situation for the PWHL.

It’s still a job to find the women’s sports broadcasts you want but @canwatchwsports.bsky.social is making it easier, particularly for 🇨🇦 fans. Seemed like a good time to mention it after the PWHL’s abrupt switcheroo from YouTube to Twitch for international viewers 🧐

Study sees fan base diversity & “While tech-savvy fans consume all sports, those who follow women’s sports more closely spend more time exploring the world around the athletes as opposed to die-hard fans of men’s sports who focus on debates over stats and performance.“ - Sportico on HS&E study

Check out @sportico.bsky.social's list of the 15 highest-paid female athletes in the world 👩🎾💵🌎 More than 70% of their total earnings come from endorsements

One of the great sports columnists in America: The Boston Globe's @tara-sullivan.bsky.social had joined Bluesky.

Alex’s work lifts the veil of mystery on women’s football in Japan for the English speaking world. He covers the entire scene including the Women’s Empowerment League (pro) & Nadeshiko Japan national team in a way no one else does with articles like this 👍 #WELeague #JFA

RUGBY UNION: World Rugby have announced that a record 220,000 tickets have already been sold for next year’s Women’s World Cup in England. It surpasses the 150,000 sold for the last tournament in NZ. 📸 England Rugby

I see a few saying Toronto Tempo is hard to pronounce but if you try it with the local accent, “Toronno Tempo” rolls right off the tongue 🤣 #WNBA

Toronto Tempo engaging fans from the get-go, great to see! Too bad about the WNBA‘s oopsie leak making it necessary to rush the reveal. Nevertheless, what an exciting moment for women’s basketball in this country! 🎉

The Toronto Tempo announced its team name today and expects its next big move will be naming a general manager by 2025 free agency, Tempo president Teresa Resch told ESPN today www.espn.com/wnba/story/_...

Sato signs a pro contract with the Toronto Maple Leafs #baseball club (no connection to the NHL team). Owner Keith Stein is also behind the Women’s Pro Baseball League ⚾️ that plans to launch six teams in the U.S. in 2026 bit.ly/4f2qsCz #womenssports #WPBL

This sauce! 🥶 Tereza Vanišová with the game-winner in @PWHL_Ottawa's home opener!

Bigger venues, no problem say Toronto and Montreal fans! This account is tracking PWHL published attendance data if you want to follow along this season

Evidence to support my previous post 😉

PWHL broadcasting teams are excellent 😎 I’ve looked forward to the deft calls, clear analysis & fun as much as the actual games! Great to see national team players Kellar & Pounder killing it. Rachel Brady wrote a wonderful story for The Globe & Mail back in May bit.ly/4fRYpXV

NSL President appreciates PWHL game 🤝 Nice to see this between TO’s two women’s pro sports teams! Nostalgically, things are a lo-o-ng way from bake sales, bingos & coercing co-workers to buy boxes of World’s Finest chocolates to pay expenses 🤣 BTW, good product those chocolates, ate a lot of them 🍫

The 7 month wait is over! 🙌 It’s opening day for the PWHL’s 2nd season!! 🎉 There’s fresh new team names, logos, jerseys & another new innovation—the “no escape rule.” To bask in last year’s glory for a moment, reposting a great read about season 1 from @kdonk.bsky.social of #CBCSports bit.ly/4fOy90l

Happy Opening Weekend! 🎉 All six teams will be in action this weekend as we drop the puck on Season Two. For tickets and where to watch ➡️ http://bit.ly/3OzAuQW
