On this episode of Purple Posts, host LJ is joined by Maya Smith, The Ice Garden’s Vancouver beat writer and a native Calgarian, to talk about the extensive and often-chaotic women’s hockey history of Maya’s hometown. From the old-timey Alpine Cup scene to the many leagues of the early 2000’s, and teams with names like the Calgary Grills, Oval X-Treme, and the inexplicably nicknamed Team Alberta “Honeybadgers,” Calgary has plenty of stories to dive into. Along the way, LJ and Maya do plenty of real-time research while reflecting on Maya’s youth hockey career and LJ’s lack of Canadian knowledge.
