it’s come to my attention some of you don’t know that pwhl toronto goalie erica howe is a full time firefighter
when she was playing with the markham thunder a group came in to talk to the team about firefighting as a career (as they were not making anywhere near a living wage in the cwhl)
her and her tandem partner liz knox (pwhl board member, pwhlpa union leader, sometimes color commentator) became full time firefighters in ontario while continuing to work towards a professional women’s hockey league that pays players enough to be their full time career
for the record i am a hater sports fan i am not neutral i am not watching to enjoy the beauty of sport and competition i want my least favourite teams to flop and my most favourite to stomp on them
Spain winning will set a bad precedent everywhere, btw. It shows that federations can be as abusive to their players as they want and nothing will happen as long as they are successful
