I have a Jessie Eldridge jersey that I ordered when she first came to Boston last season. I've worn it maybe 3 times but I don't see myself wearing it again now that she has been traded to Montreal. I was toying with the idea of mailing it to her courtesy of the Montreal Victoire, thinking she might want it as a memento of her career. Otherwise I'll probably donate it. Thoughts?

Recently lost some weight and need to get a new Fleet jersey in a smaller size. I want to make sure my XXL jersey goes to a good home (and not just a donation bin somewhere). Only wore it for 1 season so it’s it excellent condition. I live in southern NH and would prefer a local meet up! $50 OBO :)
I’ve been desperately wanting a Frankel home jersey in XXL to wear to my local AHL team's games this season, but it feels like that size has been sold out forever. 😭
Does anyone know if the PWHL shop tends to restock the player jerseys/sizes eventually? I’m trying to decide whether I should keep holding out for Frankel or just accept defeat and pick a different player.
I’m also a little confused by the way the shop handles these. The player roster jerseys seem to basically be blanks where you select the player you want (rather than just add a custom name and number), but Frankel (and a few others) have their own separate listings. So of course the one I want is the one I can’t order.
Has anyone successfully waited out a Frankel restock before, or is there another site to try?
I’m playing a tournament this weekend to raise money for breast cancer research & a survivorship fund (something that’s unfortunately particularly close to our team). I have an extra sailor hat that I don’t want - if anyone sees this by ~noon Saturday, would you like my hat in exchange for a small donation/whatever amount feels right to you? I’ll cover shipping, pay whatever you like.
My donation link closes Sat evening so unfortunately I have to do a quick turnaround, but I’ll DM you around noon tomorrow! If there are multiple takers I’ll pick at random.
Note I also have a size medium jersey (a sweet gift I never wear) and a rally towel from the inaugural playoff run, too - same deal if anyone wants those!
Edit: rally towel claimed, I’ll raffle the hat and jersey early afternoon tomorrow!
I don’t want to share identifying info online, but if anyone wants to donate just for the sake of it (that’s so kind, thank you!), please DM me and I’ll send you my link.
In news that no one saw coming, the Welcke Twins, Luisa and Lilli, who have played together since they began the start of their hockey journey, will be attending PWHL training camp with separate teams. Luisa (#16) will be joining the Boston Fleet, while Lilli (#26) will be joining the Minnesota Frost.
The Welckes hail from Baden-Baden, Germany and have notably been a part of the German international team at the World Championships and Olympics. In 2022 they attended the University of Maine before transferring to Boston University.
They have consistently been praised for their work ethic, and both play a detail-oriented, 200 foot game, contributing solid numbers while helping the team in ways that don't show up on the score sheet. Interestingly, the identical twins have had nearly identical point totals the past three years at BU: Luisa has scored 12 (7G, 5A), 16 (6G, 10A), and 13 (5G, 8A), while Lilli has contributed 11 (2G, 9A), 17 (5G, 12A), and 11 (6G, 5A).
From purely a fan perspective, I was rather hoping that both Welckes would join the Fleet--and who knows, maybe that could still happen for one reason or another--but it will certainly be interesting to see how the pair break out as individuals. Best of luck to both Luisa and Lilli in their PWHL journey (and especially Luisa with the Fleet)!
The Fleet have extended a camp invite to USports defender Vivian Hinch. In 89 games with St. Francis Xavier, the Vancouver native scored 32 points (7G, 25A) with a +34 rating, 3PPG, and a GWG with 204 PIM. The GWG came last season, wherein she put up a line of 10 points (1G, 9A), with a +9 rating and 58 PIM in 23 games. At 5'11", she could bring some size and snarl on the back end.
