International Women’s Day – what better time to start writing again than a day like today. In the weeks leading up to International Women’s Day, I find myself puttering in and out of conversations about gender inequality and deep in thought about what exactly I want to say. I’ve written about why International Women’s Day …
Dear new grads, We’ve been thinking a lot about what it would mean to enter the sports industry at a time like this – amidst the worst global pandemic since 1918. When phrased like that, it sounds as fun as blocking a Zdeno Chara slapshot with your face, but truly – maybe some good can …
I’ve spent the past week reflecting on what I wanted to say today. How to best express how deeply important caring about a more equitable world for women is. We first need to recognize there is a problem and then make sure the narratives we create and share reflect gender inequality. We don’t need to …
One hundred and twenty – that’s the number of job applications I sent before landing my position with the NHL. One hundred and twenty is the amount cover letters I wrote; the number of interviews significantly less, but the hours spent on each application considerably more – triple, maybe quadruple.

In 2016, when I graduated university I vowed one thing: I would never work in sales. In 2018, during a job interview I attested the exact opposite: working in group sales was the best thing I could have done for my career. Follow along for a second. At the start of the 2017-18 OHL season, …
The Vegas Golden Knights, the team that showed us – what happens in Vegas shouldn’t stay there. On the ice, the story was incredible, but off the ice, the story was better. The Golden Knights slayed… in every category. The unconventional hockey town embraced the team – Vegas finished fourth in the league in terms …
If you had told me 2 years ago that I’d be working for a championship winning hockey team I would have told you to screw off, but in a meaner way. Seriously. I didn’t know the first thing about hockey. If you knew me at that time you would assume my favourite sport was day …
The Humboldt Broncos: a team that everyone across the nation knows about for the wrong reason. Well, at least that’s how it started.
