Montreal, October 13, 2022 – The team of the Femme d’Hockey podcast, presented by IGA, is proud to announce that the show will now air weekly on Thursdays on TVA Sports starting October 27 at 4:30 p.m.
The Femme d’Hockey platform, which talks about hockey in a different way and which aims to highlight women, will now have its own showcase on the big screen. You will be able to see the premiere of each episode the Tuesday before the broadcast on TVA Sports on all platforms of Femme d’Hockey. This is the fourth season for the podcast which will consist of 24 episodes.
The first show will feature Anaheim Ducks forward Maxime Comtois. The left winger shares many confidences and anecdotes about his hockey career. From his beginnings in minor hockey to his passage with Team Canada Junior in 2018 and 2019 to his rise in the NHL. He takes the opportunity to talk about his admiration for female hockey players and the importance of events like the Classique KR to benefit Leucan. A first episode that will not leave anyone indifferent.
Several other distinguished guests are already on the agenda for this season, which will include 24 episodes. We will be able to see the minister responsible for sports and the Economic Development Agency of Canada for the Regions of Quebec, Pascale St-Onge, Montreal Force player Catherine Dubois, boxer Kim Clavel, Ottawa Senators forward Mathieu Joseph and many others!
“This is great news and I’m proud to be able to contribute to giving more visibility to women in sports, says Femme d’Hockey founder Isabelle Ethier. My goal is to share beautiful human stories, to inspire and to be able to make things happen.”
Since its founding in the spring of 2020, the Femme d’Hockey movement has quickly captured the attention of many fans across the province, reaching millions of people through its network.
In September 2021, TVA Sports partnered with the platform by broadcasting the podcasts on QUB radio as well as on TVASports.ca (www.tvasports.ca/balados).
“The Femme d’Hockey podcast is a contemporary concept that meets our goals of giving more space to women,” says Louis-Philippe Neveu, general manager of TVA Sports. The quality of the guests and the intimate concept, allows us to offer memorable moments.”
The host, Isabelle Ethier, will be back for weekly columns during NHL games on TVA Sports in addition to doing some appearances on JIC and the post-game show during the season.
Since September, she has joined the “Club du vendredi” on Jean-Charles Lajoie’s show “Premier conteur” on BPM Sports. With Jean-Michel Dufaux, Biz and Nathalie Bruneau, you can hear her around 8:30 a.m.
During the past year, the Femme d’Hockey community has continued to be involved in many causes such as the Canadiens Children’s Foundation, the Charles-Bruneau Cup, the Classique KR as well as celebrating Women’s Day with the Quebec Remparts.
