Tampa, FL

When it was announced that a new league was rising out of the ashes of the Premier Hockey Federation, it seemed like there was way too much to do and very little time to do it before the first match of the Professional Women’s Hockey League (PWHL). Yet, the league was put on the rails fast enough to depart on time even though not everything was perfect. Here’s my wrap-up of the PWHL inaugural chapter.

Wrapping Up the PWHL’s Inaugural Season

Minnesota State

“It’s been a whirlwind” accurately describes PWHL Minnesota’s last month. It entailed barely squeaking into the postseason and then being the first PWHL team ever to have a reverse sweep, and they did so over the number one team, PWHL Toronto. Next, they took on PWHL Boston and had the interesting predicament of winning the Championship not once but twice when they had the game-winning goal waved off in Game 4, only to win it all on the road in Game 5.

PWHL Minnesota Shows Dreams Can Come True

2023-24 Team: Baie-Comeau Drakkar (QMJHL) NHL Central Scouting: 51st (among NA skaters) Raoul Boilard broke onto the draft scene at the 2024 Kubota Top Prospects Game, where he came up big with a three-point performance, including two goals, and was named the Player of the Game for Team Red en route to a 3-1 victory. He wasn’t expected to be the biggest performer on the team – that honor went to the likes of Sam Dickinson, Andrew Basha, Adam Jecho, or Zayne Parekh – but Boilard asserted himself as one of the complete centers heading into the 2024 NHL Draft.

Kentucky is now the first state in the nation to capture oblique (side/angle view) photography of its entire geography from the sky. The KYFromAbove Program and its contractor, NV5 , achieved this milestone after pilots flew 2,600 flight lines over Kentucky’s beautiful landscape, travelling 117,000 miles and capturing 40,660 square miles of the commonwealth’s land, including our cities, towns, farms, lakes, mountains and more.

Georgia State

The Current GA

Georgia Democrats are sounding the alarm over potential mass voter challenges ahead of the November election. Georgia law allows local voters to challenge the eligibility of as many people as they want if they suspect the person is ineligible to cast a ballot. Ahead of the Jan. 2021 runoffs for the U.S. Senate, a conservative vote monitoring group called True the Vote challenged hundreds of thousands of voters’ eligibility.

Democrats warn that Georgia laws enable new, mass voter challenges

Georgia voters kicked out incumbents, picked replacements for departing legislators and set the stage for June runoffs as well as the big show in November. Ballot casters up and down the Peach State made choices Tuesday that are already set to reshape the state Legislature, which could have an even greater effect on the average Georgian than who sits in the White House this time next year.

Harvard, MA

As the University prepares for a long-term downturn in giving, interim Harvard President Alan M. Garber ’76 is leading the charge to woo back disillusioned donors. Harvard’s initial response to Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack on Israel infuriated many of the University’s major donors, but during the first weeks of the donor revolt, senior leadership remained optimistic that it could quickly win them back.

Migrant homeless encampment dwellers who have been swept from location to location by city crews finally won a reprieve Wednesday. On Wednesday, the city offered the encampment dwellers seven days of shelter instead of three, which was the original offer turned down by the campers. “It would hardly be a worthwhile respite before they would find themselves back on the streets with no support, scattered,” Housekeys Action Network Denver, or HAND, posted on Instagram.

Jacksonville, FL

City Council member Terrance Freeman is opposing a proposed hate crime law in Jacksonville, calling it unnecessary and insulting to him as a Black man. The bill could triple fines and jail time for people who commit hate crimes. Council member Jimmy Peluso said the legislation that he and five other council members signed onto needs to be part of Jacksonville law because hate crimes have “terrorized” many locally.

NHL Central Scouting: 47th (among NA skaters) In the high school ranks, anytime someone starts their season with 16 points in four games, you take notice. That’s what Minnetonka’s Javon Moore did to open his 2023-24 season. This included consecutive hat tricks to open the season against Rosemount and Andover. He followed that up with a pair of 1-2-3 games against Stillwater and Eastview.

The Scituate Animal of Massachusetts recently introduced a 10-month-old lab named Finn who they describe as "the worlds biggest goofball". The local animal shelter explains that Finn "comes with some quirks but from what we've seen, is overall a friendly and goofy lab puppy". His friendly nature extends to his potential canine companions. In fact, the shelter believes it would be "hugely beneficial for Finn to live with a playful, larger dog so he can get some of his energy out appropriately."
