In this episode, Emma sits down with Kirsty Hodgins of the Leeds Roses to explore her long journey in ice hockey — from when it was rare to see girls on the ice, to leading the fight for women’s visibility today.

Kirsty speaks candidly about the physical and mental challenges women face in the sport, the progress made in building inclusive teams, and the ongoing battle with Planet Ice, who continue to deny women’s hockey fair ice time.
