Don't Snow the Goalie is a women's hockey podcast that believes in the radical idea of treating women's sports like sports, not a special interest story. Kate Cimini, Hannah Bevis and Kate Reeher focus on happenings in both the National Women's Hockey League and the Canadian Women's Hockey League every week, with occasional dips into IIHF and Olympic hockey, as well as NCAA news.

If it's women's hockey, they're there. Bevis, Cimini and Reeher bring you the latest news and analysis in the NWHL and CWHL, including front-office moves, league happenings, game analysis, player stats, coaching decisions and more.

This week, Cimini and Bevis (sans Reeher, who abandoned them for her sister’s wedding) welcomed Blake Bolden and William Douglas to talk about their experiences as people of color in hockey.

In the first segment, Cimini, Bevis, Bolden and Douglas focused on Bolden and Douglas's respective journeys through hockey. Is there a trend of people of color emerging more into hockey? Where does the sport go from here? The show also touches on if Blake or Bill had ever experienced isolation as a POC in a predominantly white sport.

Following this, Bolden left and Bevis, Cimini and Douglas moved on to an extra-long mailbag session. Diversity in women’s hockey in came up, as well as Boston Pride goaltender Brittany Ott’s new contract and whether or not her $1,000 raise was a smart move for GM Hayley Moore. Also on the table were the possibilities of cross-promotion using Amanda "Best Kessel" and Phil "The Thrill" Kessel, not to mention the possibility of the NWHL and CWHL making it in a video game.

Bevis, Cimini and Reeher kicked the show off by discussing the logistics of the upcoming NWHL draft this weekend, including where fans can follow along at home to see which player will get drafted first overall by the New York Riveters. The CWHL draft doesn’t start until August, but some interesting players have registered for the five-team league, including Claudia Tellez, a member of Mexico’s national women's ice hockey team.

Interrupted only briefly by a high-speed cat chase, Bevis, Reeher and Cimini moved on to discuss some other new players the NWHL could see this season, recapping the first NWHL tryout camp that was held in New Jersey this past weekend. Cimini mentioned some familiar names, such as that of Nachi Fujimoto, younger sister to New York Riveters' netminder Nana Fujimoto, and some of the more standout players (spoiler alert: you’ve heard them before).

Afterwards, Bevis mentioned the two most recent signings from the NWHL, both to the New York Riveters, as well as a new assistant coach hiring that you may have missed: Sis Paulsen.

Bevis and Cimini led trivia games, testing the limits of all three's knowledge and quick-thinking skills before jumping into mailbag questions about Michelle Picard and early Cup predictions for the NWHL and CWHL.
