Local Journalism Initiative: Casey Dobson

Decided to record a convo with Ryan and call this my first foray into podcasting. Minimally edited (bc I'm still learning), but I hope you enjoy! 

If you can see this then it means you matter to me, thank you for tuning in!

Celebrating the Little Victories with Ryan Antooa

Bubbles have become the norm across the sports landscape as COVID-19 continues to wreak havoc. Leagues across a variety of sports have pulled off tournaments and regular-season play in a bubble format. From the WNBA, to the NWSL, the  MLS, and the NHL there are an abundance of examples on how to operate a successful bubble. With this in mind, it was nearly impossible to imagine the NWHL bubble ending up in the situation in which it was: having to suspend their tournament due to an abundance of positive cases. Yet, here the league is, still without a 2021 Isobel Cup champion. So how did this happen? How did the bubble burst?

Women's sports and its relationship with the media

While it may seem clear that the NWHL 2022 season is the next step for women's hockey, it's the longterm future that's in question.

Note that the interviews in this segment were recorded prior to the Isobel Cup where The Boston Pride became 2021 champions, defeating the Minnesota Whitecaps 4-3 on March 27. The Pride had faced the Toronto Six in the semi finals, winning that matchup 6-2, while the Whitecaps had to get past Buffalo in their semi final, which they did by a score of 7-0. The Pride hoisted the Cup despite entering the second iteration of the NWHL bubble as the lowest seeded team.
