From the Black Hole

When we look back at 2016, the Women's National Team's bronze medal at the Rio Olympics will be a massive story, not only because of the medal, but also because of the way it was won. This was no hold-on-by-your-fingernails-and-hope-to-score-a-late-winner performance, but a quality affair where the women looked full measure for their wins. It was exciting and, dare I say, gives fans hope for that the future is bright where previously it was easy to believe that our women were on their way into a dark and difficult rebuild. Luckily, work took me to Saskatoon so Jeff and I could sit down for another rambling recording (complete with Cheryl laugh-track). We spend the second half of the podcast discussing the women's performance while in the first half we refer to many other CanSoc stories that certainly didn't escape our notice, but that we haven't had time to give our full attention.
