The Founding 4 Podcast is a women's hockey podcast hosted by Erica L. Ayala and Angelica Rodriguez. Listen to players chat about the latest news, biggest games, and history of the women's pro league.
In 2015, the National Women’s Hockey League brought the first professional women’s hockey league to the United States. The NWHL started with four founding teams: Boston Pride, Connecticut Whale, Buffalo Beauts, and the New York Riveters.
Hey, women's Hockey fans, happy New Year.
I hope that you had a
blessed holiday season.
We had Hanukkah, Christmas, Kwanzaa.
We've got three Kings Day coming up,
and I'm sure there's more than, I'm
not even familiar with either way.
However, you.
Your time with family and or friends.
I hope that you enjoyed.
We are Back in 2023, the founding
four podcast co-hosted by an Angelica
Rodriguez and myself, Erica L.
Ayala.
And for the new year, we went
through all seven Premier Hockey
Federation teams and gave three new
year's resolutions for each team.
This episode of the Founding 4
Podcast is going togive you all
seven teams by alpha order order.
So joining us though, to do this special
New Year's podcast is Ashley Mouzzon, and
you'll be hearing a lot more from Ashley.
She is going to be contributing to
Black Rose Media and the Founding
4 Podcast, so I hope that you.
We're gonna start with Boston, so
you'll hear my voice in a moment,
but this is our Premier Hockey
Federation, new Year's Resolutions.
Three for all seven teams.
What we want to see them take
into the 2023 portion of Season 8.
Enjoy.
Women's Hockey fans, Erica L.
Ayala here, and I am gonna bring you
the three New year's resolutions for the
Boston Pride presented by Black Rosie
Media as we go into the 2023 portion of.
Season 8 of the Premier Hockey
Federation Resolution number one.
Although the Boston Pride started off
pretty much like a bat out of hell coming
off back to back championships, they need
to tighten up defensively and that is
something that they're gonna have to do.
They've been relying a lot on Corinne
Schroeder in net, but we see that
when the the score starts running
up, then that's when teams can meet
success against the Boston Pride.
Number two, for the
love of all things woho.
I want to see Jillian Jillian
Dempsey centering Lauren
Gabel and Elizabeth Giguere.
That is just a fun and totally
dominant line, and I think
we can all get behind that.
And my third resolution, it kind of goes
hand in hand with resolution number one.
If you wanna keep down the score, what
you also need to do is make sure you
are showing Tendy Love Corinne schroeder
started her PHF campaign with three.
Shutout and has been
fantastic backstopping.
This Boston Pride Squad, you wanna
protect your goalie and a part of
that, of course, is keeping that score
low and being more defensively sound.
That's what I've got for the
Boston Pride, your 2023 New Year's
resolutions as they head into the
the next part of season eight.
Be sure to check out Black Rosie Media
for all your PHF content, including of.
The founding four podcast co-hosted
by myself and an Angelica Rodriguez.
Happy New Year Rodriguez here.
And I am giving you Black Rosie
Media's three PHF New Year's
resolutions for the Buffalo Beauts
ahead of the 2023 portion of Season 8.
So, uh, starting with resolution one.
Keep scoring on the power play.
Um, they've been really
disciplined, which is great.
They haven't had a whole lot to
do on the penalty kill lately.
But, uh, that power play has
recently really taken off the puck.
Cycling's amazing getting their
defense involved, especially Toni
Matzka has been a revelation.
So, uh, keep that up honestly.
Uh, number two.
Leave the lines alone.
Seriously , let them gel.
Let Themm like mold, let them
figure out what they're doing
and leave the lines alone.
Um, and, uh, resolution number three, um,
keep her goal tenders healthy, please.
Especially Kassidy Sauvé.
I feel like she's just been so
snake bitten and it's so sad.
You can just tell she wants to
play and when she's on, she's on.
So keep those goalies healthy
and that is your three New Year's
resolutions and you're filling in
the know about the Buffalo Beauts.
Be sure to check up Black
Rosey Media for PHF content.
And much more and listen to yours truly
alongside Erica Ayala on the Founding
4 Pod, which is Black Rosie Media's
flagship podcast wherever you listen to
your podcast, the Hey there, hockey fans.
My name is Erica L.
Ayala and I am here to present
to you Black Rosie Media's three
New Year's resolutions for the
Connecticut Whale in the 2023 portion
of season eight of the Premier
Hockey Federation resolution number.
Get back into their groove.
They were the champions
of the regular season.
We haven't seen them have that bite yet
in season eight, resolution number two.
I really wanna see them get
Mrazova and Weber activated.
These are two power forwards.
They're dynamic athletes, and if the
Connecticut wheel wanna find themselves
in Isabel Cup final, again, they're gonna
need, uh, Katerina and Janine Weber.
And resolution number three.
When the Connecticut Whale do get into
the Groove, Kennedy Marchment scoring,
Taylor Girard scoring shorthanded
goals they need to play with no mercy.
There have been times where Connecticut
has almost been kind of playing with
the lead keeping teams in the game and
sometimes ultimately suffering a loss.
So now, you know, with the Connecticut
Whale need going into the second.
Of Season eight.

Hi, my name is Ashley Mouzzon and
here are Black Rosie Media's three New
Year's resolutions for the Metropolitan
Rives in the 2023 portion of the
Premier Hockey Federation season.
Sarah B needs to keep scoring more goals.
Kelly Babstock.
Stay out of the penalty box and the
rives as a whole need to establish more
consistent play and weekend matchups.
You are now in the know
about the metropolitan rs.
Be sure to visit Black Rosie Media
for PHF content and much more.
Listen to the founding four podcast, the
flagship podcast of Black Rosie Media.
Wherever you get your.
All right, we're gonna get back
to the New Year's resolutions.
A reminder that the Premier Hockey
Federation begins play again this week
and coming out of the holiday break
we have on Friday, January 6th, the
Boston Pride versus the Connecticut.
We've got the Toronto six
versus the Montreal Forest.
That's on Saturday, January
7th at 3:00 PM Eastern time.
I should mention the Boston
Connecticut game, 7:00 PM Eastern Time.
Then the Boston Pride will take
on the Metropolitan Rives, so they
have two road trips on the weekend.
And on Saturday we also have the
Minnesota White caps at Buffalo Beauts.
They will also play on Sunday,
and then the Connecticut whale
will head down to the Rives.
So it's a little bit of a split
home series for the Rives.
A split road series for the
Boston Pride and Connecticut
has a a home and an away game.
Then of course, we go back on Sunday
with the Toronto six and Montreal
Force, the Battle of Canada.
That should be a good one, and we
will have your coverage of course,
over at the founding floor podcast.
But speaking of those Canadian
teams, let's continue with
our New Year's resolutions.
We'll round those out with the
Minnesota white caps, and of course
the Montreal Force and Toronto six.
Hey, hockey fans, Erica L.
Ayala here, and I am going to present
to you Black Rosie Media's three New
Year's resolutions for the Minnesota
White Caps in the 2023 portion of the
Premier Hockey Federation, Season 8.
The Minnesota Whitecaps
have to start early.
They've been playing a lot, trailing
in a game and having to catch
up and having to react to what
their opponent is giving them.
But when they've played and gotten on the
board first, they've played really well.
Resolution number two, uh, Denisa
Krizova is your cheat code, along
with, of course, Jonna Albers.
You really need those two forwards to
contribute on offense, get them activated.
Everyone else needs to support
finding them in open ice
and making things difficult.
On the opponent, the Minnesota White caps
actually have a really strong power play,
but they need to improve the penalty heel.
Inevitably, special teams are going to
be a part of the game, and so they're
gonna have to clean up and make sure
that they are sound of defensively
on the PK, and maybe even find a
way to be a little more offensive
minded and aggressive on the penalty.
Those are my three resolutions for the
Minnesota wide caps as we head into the
2023 portion of season eight of the PHF.
Be sure to check back with Black Rose
Media for all your PHF needs, and of
course, make sure you're listening to
the founding four podcasts co-hosted
by myself , and Angelica Rodriguez,
a happy new year to you and I hope
you'll tune in to listen to me and
the rest of the broadcast team as we
bring you PHF action on ESPN+ and TSN
Hey everybody, it's Ashley here with Black
Rose Media, and here are the top three New
Year's resolutions for the Montreal Force
for the 2023 portion of the PHF season.
They need to continue with their
three goal average per game.
Jade Downie-Landry and Ann-Sophie
Bettez need to keep contributing
to their offensive efforts, and
as a whole, the team needs to
increase their defensive efforts.
There you have it for the.
Montreal Force.
As always, Black Rosie Media has
all of your phf content and much.
And listen to the Founding 4, the
flagship podcast for Black Rosie
Media wherever you get your podcast.
What's up y'all?
Angelica Rodriguez, here and here.
Black Rosie Media's three PHF New
Year's resolutions for the Toronto Six.
Ahead of the 2023 portion of the.
Season 8.
So let's go Resolution number one.
Keep getting Britney Howard at that pup.
She's dynamic.
She's making an early case
for MVP and good on her.
Uh, she's a big part of the reason
for these success, especially
offensively, uh, number two,
kind of figure out an even keel.
I feel like there's still some games
where Toronto just doesn't necessarily
have consistency yet, especially.
When it comes to their defense.
So, um, really trying to buckle down and,
you know, work out those little things
I think is gonna be really big for them,
especially with Boston Breely down their
neck, you know, they're gonna have to keep
that, you know, that hold on first place.
And I think that's gonna be
the big, uh, deciding factor.
And, uh, number three, I mean,
y'all know, I have to say it
keep giving us CJ content.
Honestly, it, it's been.
Chef's kiss.
Uh, you don't know.
I had to say it.
You all know on the stand.
But anyway, uh, that is the Three
New Year's resolutions you
not know in the Toronto six.
Be sure to check out Black Rosie Media
for PHF content and much more, and
listen to yours truly alongside Erica
Ayala on the Founding 4 Pod, uh, the

little bit experimental with some things.
We're still trying to, uh, get
everyone's schedules together and
get the technology that we need to.

to the standard that we like,
but we hope that you're enjoying
what we're putting together.

along with your favorite PHF teams.
You can see that we definitely have
some players that we are targeting
for end of season awards goal
tender of the year, uh, mvp, most
valuable player Defender of the Year.

That we're gonna get into, and hopefully
we'll continue to have fun ways for you

Federation starting this weekend, we also
