#559: Why PWHL salary transparency is so important
About this episode
The episode discusses the importance of salary transparency in women's sports, focusing on the PWHL's recent disclosure of player salaries.
On today’s episode of The GIST of It, co-hosts Ellen Hyslop and Steph Rotz are talking about trail-blazing women — because of course they are. Earlier this week, the PWHL Players’ Association released every player’s 2025-26 salary, all 194 of them. Talking about finances has often been viewed as a faux pas, especially for women. But now, the curtain’s up, the receipts are out, and financial transparency is having an important moment.
