📷 Dunedin Thunder NZWIHL socials

I was scrolling on Facebook earlier this week when I stumbled on a post from the Dunedin Thunder, a team in the New Zealand Womens Ice Hockey League (NZWIHL).

There was a team survey with lots of interesting & fun questions presented with graphs & photos of players. I'd be interested to know how PW teams or their fans would complete these surveys & what the answers would be.

The NZWIHL is starting its final month of the regular season with the Finals in early August. All games are streamed for free on YouTube.

My first bit of PW merch was going to be a
Sirens jersey but I got a customised Canada jersey plus shipping cheaper than I managed to find a blank Sirens jersey that I could ship to Australia.

Then I found this shirt representing our favourite powerplay on Etsy & got one as close as I could get to PW purple.

Excuse me having the shirt on backwards for the second photo but I had to show it off too.

Power through tough messes!

I'm no graphic designer & this isn't a comment about the signing of this particular player or the ability of the person who did this graphic.

But this is a bugbear of mine when the graphic & the text don't go well together.

This example caught my eye just now.

TfNSW have placed details for the bus services to WSI on their website which will commence in July 2026 from places such as Penrith, Mt Druitt, Liverpool & Campbelltown.

Interesting to note that relevant Bunnings stores that the buses go past are mentioned in addition to shopping centres. Apart from people who work there, who catches a bus to Bunnings?
