Welcome back to THE DROP PASS, your week in review of everything Offside News Co. Every edition will recap hockey news, from our team-focused columns to podcasts and everything in between.
We are back again for another week filled with news, fun moments, not-so-fun moments, and everything in between!
If you’re itching for playoff hockey, you don’t have to wait for the NHL or the PWHL! For the NCAA, the Women’s Frozen Four begins this weekend as Ohio State, Northeastern, Penn State and Wisconsin will battle for the national championship. The men are currently in the midst of their respective conference playoffs. CHL playoffs are coming soon, as well!

STICK TAPS
At Offside News Co, it is our core belief that those with a voice or platform should use said platform to support those in need.
The Kansas City DSA has launched the Kansas Trans ID Access Fund to ensure that trans, non binary, and gender nonconforming Kansans can obtain and maintain valid state issued identification following the passing of SB 244 which, among other rights violations, invalidates state-issued driver’s licenses with updated gender markers that reflect the carrier’s gender identity.
We encourage readers to donate to the KCDSA at the link below.
See You Next Week!
