One thing I do want to stress with the WPBL is there is going to be some aspects that seem unpolished or rough compared to other recent women league start ups, or even compared to early days nwsl / wnba. And that’s because there has been very very limited opportunities for women to pursue baseball on any level, and even less to play baseball with other women. The most traditionally organized women’s baseball that I know of exists in Japan with the Venus league, which is a large amateur baseball league that has tiers involving high school, university, and club teams (Japan also used to have a pro league that folded in the pandemic.) there are national team programs, but the women’s baseball World Cup only started as recently as 2002 and has not been held 9 times. Most of the women’s playing experience comes with playing for indie ball and vasity teams or programs where they’d frequently be the only women (and many of them faced being pushed out / giving less opportunities + focus from coaches because of that) and their national team opportunities.
And while national team opportunities have improved in recent years, here is an excerpt on what it was like for former Team USA veteran player Malaika Underwood to train with the team (source)
“After the national team trials in June, Underwood invited teammates who also lived in the Southeast to spend weekends at her house in Jacksonville so that they could practice together. They also met up in Atlanta. All the training and travel happened on their own dimes. When they could, players sent videos of their pitches and swings to their coaches, who would try to make adjustments remotely.
“It’s all on us,” Underwood says. “In terms of time and personal investment, we’ve all given up a lot to be here. Guys make sacrifices to play baseball, too, but there’s just a much clearer path for them.”
Basically I say this because I know there’s a lot of people coming over from being recent wnba/pwhl/nwsl fans, and particularly if you watched the latter two leagues, understand that the WPBL is coming at it with significantly less infrastructure in place in America. There’s no ncaa programs, no high school programs, the only previously attempted league after the AAGPBL was the amateur league, North American Women's Baseball League, which existed for five years. The nwsl and PWHL all had several attempted leagues before if, several overseas leagues, college programs, and stronger national team programs that appeared in major tournaments like the Olympics they were building off of. I also don’t want to entirely compare to wnba, because I think the time period and how it came about puts it in a different cultural context, but even they had a few attempts at pro leagues and several decades of organized college play.
There is going to be growing pains with this and it’s an ambitious project, and it’s crucial to understand that context and how different the sport infrastructure is when supporting these athletes and respect for what they’re trying to build here

Goalie Who Most Deserves A Gun - Winner: Gwyneth Philips - 68.8%
You could say that Gwyneth Philips carried the Ottawa Charge to both of their Walter Cup Finals. From 41-shot shutouts to spinning around the ice like a beyblade, Philips definitely had to deal with a lot of bullshit this season.
God's Most Suffering Player - Winner: still Gwyneth Philips - 45.1%
As one tumblr user put it, the Ottawa Charge had quite a few games where it was "no offense, no defense, just Gwyneth Philips and a dream." From losing her glove in a puck battle to the heartbreaking back-to-back Walter Cup losses, Gwyn has absolutely been through it.

Lesbians' Choice Award - Winner: Carly “CJ” Jackson - 23.2%
The Seattle Torrent's resident mullet-haver Carly "CJ" Jackson is the winner of the Lesbians' Choice Award. Whether it's advocating for trans people's inclusion in sports, eating hot dogs, cutting all their sleeves off of their shirts, or making sick saves, CJ has certainly managed to catch the hearts of lesbian and other queer PWHL fans.
Fight of the Year - Winner: Abby Roque vs. Britta Curl Playoff Scrum - 36.3%
Sam Cogan of the Frost accidentally set off this fight during the first playoff game between Minnesota and Montreal. Curl and Roque got matching penalties, but Roque got to take home a "souvenir" in the form of her now-iconic black eye.

Runner ups: 2. "I think I peed a little." - Marie-Philip Poulin - 23.1%, 3. "How can you not be romantic about hockey?" - Eric Gallanty - 21.9%
Blorbo of the Year - Winner: Abby Roque - 16.5%

btw i am on team "there aren't only ~350 (or fewer) woho players in the entire world who can rise to the challenge of the pwhl and expansion is not even coming close to 'diluting' the talent pool, and implying so is shitty to women as a whole and worldwide woho players specifically"
expansion is not diluting the talent pool, it's giving more already extremely good athletes opportunities to play in a great league with half decent pay and develop further. 12 teams is not coming CLOSE to the limits of the high level women's hockey worldwide talent pool. do you have so little faith in women?
