About this episode

Rebecca Leslie discusses the Ottawa Charge's journey to the Walter Cup final and various topics in women's sports, including player movements and advocacy efforts.

Ottawa Charge forward Rebecca Leslie recaps the team’s run to the Walter Cup final for the second straight year – a run that included Leslie scoring the winning goal in Game 3. The PWHL expansion player selection process will be… robust, to say the least. PWHL players agree to disclose their salaries. After 14 years with Barcelona, 2-time balon d’Or winner Alexia Putellas is leaving for WSL’s London City Lionesses. Serena Williams could be making a tennis comeback – in doubles with Canadian Victoria Mboko! The Toronto Tempo are sitting at .500, not bad for an expansion team. Marina Mabrey and Brittney Sykes are emerging as star players for the Tempo in the early going. The WNBA rookie-of-the-year race will be heated this year. As we approach Pride Month, Michaela reintroduces the Get REAL Movement to combat 2SLGTBQ+ discrimination and bullying with the non-profit organization’s Chapter & Events Manager Courtney Allain. Michaela and Vanessa will once again participate in June’s Rainbow Railroad 5K fundraiser! You can support them at: https://www.zeffy.com/en-CA/team/shes-got-game-2
