SEATTLE — Big news off the ice! The Professional Women’s Hockey League has awarded Seattle an expansion franchise to begin in 2025.

Niko and Chris talk about the PWHL and the announcement that gives Seattle the distinction of being the only city with three professional women’s teams: the WNBA’s Seattle Storm, the NWSL’s Seattle Reign FC, and now, the PWHL.

As always, they highlight the good and bad away from the sports action in “Four Corners” and the big announcements about new events coming to Seattle.
