Eleni and Mike are back!

Checking the Box is co-hosted by player agent and partner of Cook Stark Hockey, Eleni Demestihas and The Ice Garden Managing Editor and owner, Mike Murphy. Checking the Box will be a monthly (roughly) PWHL and pro women’s hockey-centric pod offering unique perspectives from behind the glow of a laptop screen and the agent’s desk. 

In this episode, Eleni and Mike dive right into (what else) PWHL expansion! On the eve of the PWHL’s first Expansion Draft, our hosts discuss the pre-draft signings, why we saw some big-name players exposed, who signed (and where), and they provide as much context as possible for what comes next.
