DMU Launches Women's Hockey Uniform Research Project

A significant research project at De Montfort University will explore the history of women's field hockey uniforms, led by Emmy Sale in collaboration with The Hockey Museum. This four-year endeavor aims to document and digitize an extensive collection related to women's hockey, highlighting shifts in social attitudes towards gender and sport over time. Meanwhile, the Union College women's hockey team is preparing for a non-conference game against Vermont after a challenging series against top-ranked teams, marking a notable start to their ECAC season. Harvard's women's ice hockey team seeks to bounce back from recent losses as they engage in a home-and-home series with Providence, also hosting a charitable 'Teddy Bear Toss' event. Additionally, cities like Chicago, Pittsburgh, and Detroit are emerging as potential candidates for new franchises in the Professional Women's Hockey League, indicating a growing interest and support for women's hockey. The Ottawa Charge will also participate in a neutral-site game as part of the PWHL Takeover Tour in March 2025, further promoting the league.
