With professional women’s hockey returning to Canada, myFM caught up with Strathroy’s Brooke Gibson to get her thoughts. The National Women’s Hockey League secured a new Toronto franchise, making it their sixth total. This comes after the Canadian Women’s Hockey League announced it’s folding after 12 years effective May 1st because of financial instability. Gibson, the first Strathroy female hockey player to be drafted pro shared her opinion in an email exchange, that all leagues are “fighting for a sustainable, long term and fully functioning women’s professional league and everyone needs to keep pushing for that.” The former netminder was drafted by the now defunct Toronto Furies of the CWHL but opted to retire. Gibson is now the goaltending coach for the Burlington Barracudas, where she says she has and will always continue to support women’s hockey.
