Summary

Jeff kicks off the show with Erin Ambrose, fresh off being named the first Defender of the Year in the PWHL. They discuss how her game has evolved since being the last recipient of the award in the CWHL, before getting into how she's adapted to the travel schedule of the PWHL, her injuries throughout the season, her goals for the next, how she expects the team to look in 2025, and her apparel collaboration with CCM. Later on, 2024 PWHL first overall pick Sarah Fillier joins the show (17:10). They discuss her thought process leading up to the PWHL draft and if she knew beforehand when her name would be called, who she knows on PWHL New York, her preparation for her rookie season as a pro athlete, and much more! The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliates.
