This week I’m joined by Ian Kennedy, author of Ice in their Veins: Women’s Relentless Pursuit of the Puck. We talk about the challenge of finding sources for early women’s hockey, the sport’s development in the first half of the 20th century, and some of the challenges faced by women’s hockey pioneers. We then discuss Ian’s oral history interviews, the introduction of women’s hockey in the Olympics, and how the PWHL changed the book’s ending.
