The female game isn’t “catching up” anymore — it’s redefining hockey altogether.

In this episode, returning guest Tausha joins Amanda to break down the explosive rise of female hockey, the intensifying physical play, and how the new era of girls on ice is changing coaching, recruiting, and league standards from grassroots to NCAA.

Tausha has gone from player → boys’ coach → and now head of the entire female program at her association. She’s in the trenches where the shift is happening — and she’s not sugar-coating it.

🏒 In This Episode We Cover:

How girls’ hockey has evolved from “finesse first” to grit, speed, and dominant puck battles
Coaching girls vs. coaching boys: is the difference real, or taught?

The new recruiting lens: what NCAA D1 programs are asking for
The big debate: Should checking be introduced at elite female levels?
Why the female bench is more confident, more aggressive, and more vocal than ever
What happens when female programs are led by female coaches
The pipeline shift: FSL → Junior → NCAA → pro

🎯 Who This Episode Is For:

Female hockey parents
Players rising through U13–U18 elite
Coaches building competitive girls’ programs
NCAA hopefuls & recruiting families
Anyone trying to understand where women’s hockey is headed (and how fast)
