Quote of the Day

To be able to kind of see the parallels and see the differences and also see where, O.K., that’s where they got in 10, 20 years. Where can we get in 10 or 20 years?
-- Minnesota Frost F Kelly Pannek, on comparing the PWHL, which is opening its third season, to more established women's leagues like the WNBA and NWSL.
