NHL broadcasts have become saturated with gambling advertisements reaching 2-3 each minute. Sports betting and gambling ads are not as prevalent to date in the PWHL, and new Canadian legislation could keep in that way.

I agree this is an absolute shite article but when I heard the stat about 2-3 ads per minute I was horrified!

    Ian, my guy, what are you doing putting a casual FanDuel ad in the middle of your “FanDuel is being banned because it’s terrible for mental health” article? Did you not read the article that you were currently writing?

    FanDuel currently lists the Minnesota Frost as the favorite to win the 2026-27 Walter Cup followed by Boston, Montreal and Detroit who have equal odds. They list the Toronto Sceptres as the biggest long shot for a Walter Cup next season.
