WHPL EXPANSION TEAMS PROVING TO BE SOLID CONTENDERS

Pittsburgh, Alburquerque dominate their divisions while Nashville and Denver make strong cases for wild card finishes

DENVER – Four of the six expansion teams added to the Women’s Hockey Professional League this season are proving their mettle right out of the gate. Five weeks into the season, the Albuquerque Ice Crystals (12-4-2) are just two points behind the Las Vegas Saints (13-2-3) in the Southwestern division.

In the east, the Pittsburgh Bearcats (14-3-2) are solidly number two in the Great Lakes division, and a mere two points behind the Toronto Ice Queens (14-1-4) in the Eastern Conference. If Toronto continues their current skid (four losses in a row) and Pittsburgh extends their five-game winning streak, we could see the new team taking that number one spot.

The Anaheim Blizzard (4-9-5) and Cleveland Rebels (5-8-6) have struggled to find their game. Cleveland appears to be rallying, winning three of their last four after an abysmal start. Anaheim seemed to do the same in late October, but after blowing three multiple-goal leads in recent games, it’s clear something needs to change for this team.

Both the Denver Stampeders (10-3-5) and the Nashville Outlaws (9-6-3) have established themselves as strong contenders for their respective wild card spots. Denver started their season weakly, recording three regulation and two overtime losses in their first six games. Since their disastrous 7-2 loss on October 15, the team has surged, boasting a record of 8-0-2 in their last ten, landing them firmly in the Western Conference’s second wild card position.

Nashville lost their first five games in regulation. General Manager Toni Cochran swiftly demoted head coach Lena Talbot to assistant head coach and hired Kristen O’Connor to the team’s helm. Under O’Connor’s leadership, the Outlaws have played 9-1-0 in their last ten games.

Denver plays at Vancouver tonight, and Pittsburgh hosts the Seattle Winterhawks.
