This Amelnykan Life: Gaslight, Gatekeep, Girlboss

If you’re here for trade deadline analysis, look elsewhere!

As the NHL trade deadline approaches, we’re here to provide the content we know you all want. That’s right: we’re completely ignoring the trade deadline to discuss the NWHL’s most recent controversy surrounding trans inclusion, and do a deep dive into girlboss culture!

Before tackling the more serious content of this episode, though, we take a moment express our appreciation for Sens prospect and noted respecter of women, Egor Sokolov, and look forward to the day when the city of Ottawa becomes world famous as the home of the Ottawa Senators!
