Hello!

If only we could wish you a happy hockey season. While we’re celebrating the puck dropping on the regular season earlier this week, the on-ice action was sadly overshadowed by news that the NHL has reportedly banned players from using Pride Tape this year.

On today’s episode of The GIST of It, co-hosts Ellen Hyslop and Steph Rotz discuss the details of the league’s WTF move, the controversy that came before, and how the sports world is responding to this bullsh!t. Thanks, as always, for tuning in.

Count it down!

With only three more days until the 2023 WNBA Finals, today’s episode of The GIST of It has co-hosts Ellen Hyslop and Steph Rotz chatting through everything you need to know before league’s last-standing pair — the defending champion No. 1 Las Vegas Aces and No. 2 NY Liberty — begin battling on Sunday.

Thanks for tuning in as the gals break down these stacked superteams!

Welcome to October!

And welcome to October baseball. On today’s episode of The GIST of It, co-hosts Ellen Hyslop and Steph Rotz tee up everything you need to know about the MLB postseason contenders ahead of today’s first playoff pitch. 

Then after the break, the gals head from the dugout to the front office, where Miami Marlins general manager (GM) Kim Ng, the first-ever female GM in any major North American men’s sport, made women’s history again when her Marlins clinched the MLB playoffs. El and Steph chat through Ng’s impressive resume and the clutch trades she made that put Miami over the finish line.
