Working the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship at Hazeltine and kept seeing this bag everywhere. First time I saw it on Tuesday practice day I legit thought it was a custom bag, then I saw three more on first round and was like “okay maybe this is some Frost collab or something”. Nope, but someone at Taylormade is definitely a Frost fan, and they just released it like a week ago and you can actually buy it. Nelly Korda (World #1) is one of the players out here carrying it, and Heise and Zumwinkle saw it for the first time a couple days ago following Nelly. The details on this bag and the accessories are pretty sick.

Fact: if I owned a pizzeria

Fact: if Katy Knoll remained our Frosty Queen til the league grew a bit more

Fact: I’d totally put out a sign and hope for a similar wave of love from the community

Okay but for real (for real) this community-building around Naz Reid makes me want the most for the Frost. I want *everybody* to be chanting Free. Katy. Knoll. And finding joy in the PWHL like we all do.

I’m ready for Season 4!

Entry Draft and Phase Whatever are behind us. We're going to rely on rookies to fill out the roster. The league has expanded - which is great - at the cost of certain teams (Frost). We can't compare these teams to the All Star teams that played the first two seasons - and neither can any of the other teams.

The line rotations will be interesting. Swiderski could scale up fast.

This is a good looking squad:

Forwards

3/5 Olympians intact - Heise, Pannek, Zumwinkle. KCS status pending.

Hymlarova, Butorac - someone called it recently. They're not going to replace BCS production, but they replace her size.

Showing faith: Petrie (healthy?), Anderson; the late season trades - Cogan, Giguere.

Rookies: Vainikka (Viivi is more fun, isn't it? We just lost {TRADED} Naz Reid, maybe people will get Viivi tattoos), Christian (3rd round pick, played with top shelf players at PSU).

Need 1-2 more (KCS pending). Upson, Beecher (rookie)?

Defenders

Stecklein, Morin, Buchbinder.

Rookies: Swiderski (first line by mid season?), Henderson (UMD grad, good experience)

Showing faith: Becker.

What's up with Jincy?

Goalies

This is Rooney. May need a third.

The Boss, unsigned with a graduate degree and career/life options; the Russian - Gredzen - will be interesting (who has seen a Russian team in years?). Sounds like a heist movie.

ALSO, if you've read this far:

Who do you think will be the next union rep? Also, Captain if KCS takes some time off? {I don't know how to make a poll.}

If my memory serves, the only free agent signing the Frost have ever done is Sidney Morin last summer. (Yes, technically our re-signings this year are free agent signings, but that's not what I'm talking about here.)

There are tons of free agents moving around this summer, yet the Frost don't seem to be doing anything to help rebuild the depleted blue line with any veterans, or try to backfill the offensive loss of Curl.

Do Klee and Caruso simply like to build solely from the draft, or do the players not want to come here?

I’m paranoid I missed something. I want to change my season tickets to different seats. It seems really odd they are letting new STHs pick seats without creating a window of time for existing STHs to move seats. And the seats currently available to new STHs aren’t what I want.

The latest email made it sound like they’re “promising” lots of good choices for STH’s who are moving seats. But then crickets.

Anyone else still waiting?
