And it all comes down to this... Sheffield produced a semi-final clinic, but they enter the final against the Devils with a thin squad. Sam Tremblay, an injury doubt, is in the line-up, but moving gingerly in the warm-up. ✍️ @BritIceHockey britishicehockey.co.uk/post/…

London City Lionesses recorded an operating loss of £10.6m for last season, when they won the second tier. That loss was more than 10 times their revenue (£902k). Their parent company, owned by Michele Kang, has injected £22.4m into the club in the past two seasons. #BarclaysWSL

After the article’s headline was updated this afternoon, I asked the FT if it stood by its initial view (screenshot). “Yes.” — that’s the whole reply.

“It’s extremely disappointing to see the piece that has appeared in the Financial Times today. The tone of the article is not just absurd in relation to ice hockey, but also to women who watch sport in general - something that shouldn’t even be a talking (cont.)

Opinion — 🗣️ Female hockey fans have been branded “puck bunnies” for decades — the FT’s article only serves to reinforce this sexist, misongisntic, and harmful trope. britishicehockey.co.uk/post/…
