Crank Up The Volume

Winning isn’t just about the scoreboard — it shapes culture, community, and even philanthropy. In Seattle sports, those things are all connected, and when the communication is strong, the fanbase stays strong too. Women are showing up, spending big, and building something bigger than fandom. Let’s keep the conversation going. #WomensSports #SeattleSports #PWHL #SportsCulture #Community

It was in front of us the entire time. The news of Ilitch Companies and Kilmer Sports Ventures should not be a big surprise. The clues were all there. #pwhl #pwhldraft #startup #investors

Detroit showed up. The draft delivered. And the energy? Unforgettable. From the press conference to the red carpet to the long night in the press room, I saw firsthand how much this moment meant to the players, the fans, and the city. The PWHL is growing fast—and so is the conversation around what comes next. #PWHL #CrankUpTheVolume #HockeyTwitter #SeattleTorrent #WomensHockey #DraftDay #SportsMed...
