Women’s Hockey Wednesday: Shake-up in the CWHL

There isn’t one perfect article on the CWHL expansion news so we’re just going ahead with our impressions of all of this and we’ve curated the best few articles in the CWHL section below.

Annie: Signing Räty and Stack is huge news. Firstly, in my opinion, Noora Räty is the best women’s hockey goalie in the world. She’s fresh off a return to the Women’s World Championships that culminated in her receiving the Best Goaltender award and the Finns taking the bronze medal. She’s played in men’s pro leagues in Finland since the Sochi Olympics, a move that was at least in part due to financial concerns, so it’s great to see her in women’s pro hockey.
