Bruins strike partnership with Boston Pride to spread the word about women’s hockey – The Athletic (subscription)
The NWHL announced last week that the Boston Pride had formed a partnership with the Boston Bruins, and jaws dropped everywhere, mostly at the idea that Jeremy Jacobs was giving anyone money for anything, much less women’s hockey. (One of us—we’ll leave it up to the reader to guess who—wondered aloud who shoved Jacobs in a closet to get this deal done. Considering the Bruins’ historic resistance to any sort of partnership with either pro league — remember the Blades were in Boston for five seasons, won multiple cups and were chock full of Olympians before the Pride came along — it seems a valid question.
