By JOHN WAWROW and STEPHEN WHYNO (AP Hockey Writers)Organizers announced plans Friday to launch a new women’s professional hockey league in January that they hope will provide a stable, economically respectable home for the sport’s top players for years to come.The North American league has many unanswered questions — how many teams, where they will play, will the economic model work after earlier leagues fell short — but an initial framework is in place. The effort also has deep pockets behind it: Los Angeles Dodgers co-owner Mark Walter and wife Kimbra, team President Stan Kasten and tennis legend Billie Jean King will help run the league.“Over the past four years, we have worked tirelessly to close the gap on what young girls and boys dream to become in this sport,” said U.S. women’s star Kendall Coyne Schofield, a member of the Professional Women’s Hockey Players’ Association.

Opinion: Free speech wins in 303 Creative Supreme Court ruling protecting our client’s expression

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 02:45:39 GMT

June is finals month. After a long journey, multiple ups and downs, and a lot of hard work, merits are tested one last time and a winner is crowned. Students and NBA fans know this. Lawyers like me do, too: In one of its final opinions of the term, the U.S. Supreme Court decided 303 Creative v. Elenis — holding that government can’t force people to say things they don’t believe. This is a win for free speech. And unlike an exam grade or NBA title, it’s a big win for all Americans.But things were a little bumpy early on. Lorie Smith is a Denver-area graphic artist. She launched 303 Creative to love her neighbors while promoting causes close to her heart. Like most artists, Lorie works with all people but can’t express all messages. For Colorado officials, that was a problem. Lorie learned that officials would misuse state law to force her to say things about marriage she doesn’t believe if she were to start making wedding websites with marriage stories that she reported and wro...
