  • Connor Bedard IS NOT a Cow!
    Jun 30 2023

    Happy Pride Month from the girlies! Just like Tyler Seguin, Connor Bedard, the man of the summer, is also not a cow. We recognize that it's been a tough time for LGBTQ+ sports fans and players, but our podcast will always remain a safe space for anyone and everyone.


    It's been a while since you've last heard from us, hasn't it? We've got a lot to cover in this episode, from our not-so-successful playoff brackets to the anti-climactic 2023 NHL Draft. We're also catching up on two months' worth of hockey culture moments, such as the Kraken's BookTok fame, the NHL's Taylor Swift obsession, the Blackhawk's iconic Glamboni, and so. much. more.


    This is season two episode one of the Mitts & Chicks diversity and anti-hate series! Just like last summer, we want to tackle underrepresented topics in sports such as homophobia, racism, sexism, and mental health representation. A reminder that this podcast is a safe space for all, and we are here for you no matter what -- love is love!
