Joy Drop: It was a rough week for women's sports naysayers
What week of joy and happiness! Friends, there are a few huge pieces of joy that were brought forth through ice, the pool and on the mats. I'm brimming with excitement about the following stories.
I will start with the Toronto Six winning the PHF championship last Sunday. Not only was the Isobel Cup game a nail-biter that went into OT, it was a moment for Canadian women's hockey to be proud of.
Over the last few years, I have attended a number of Toronto Six games and the crowds have grown to a committed fan base and the vibe is excellent.
To see this organization grow, and be successful is something very important in the women's hockey community.

Next up were some epic results from the pool at the Canadian Swimming Trials. Summer MacIntosh smashed the world record in the 400-metre freestyle and then continued by topping her own world junior record in the 200m individual medley. Josh Liendo and Maggie MacNeil also dominated in their events.
