Show Notes

We are busting out the Founding 4 Pod archives. Originally posted November 30, 2017, this is an exclusive interview with (now former) HC Lugano defender Blake Bolden. These days, Bolden is working with the Los Angeles Kings as a scout and skating with the Professional Women's Hockey Players Association (PWHPA). 

Bolden played two seasons with the Boston Blades of the CWHL, and two seasons with the Boston Pride of the NWHL. She won back-to-back professional titles in Boston. First she won the Clarkson Cup with the Blades in 2015, then won the inaugural Isobel Cup with the Pride in 2016.

Now playing for HC Lugano in Switzerland, she hopes to win a third professional title. Listen to Bolden discuss the story behind her name, her decision to play overseas, how she remains cool, and her favorite sights in her new surroundings.
