"We wanted to make sure that we got it right," said one of the show's creators. "We worked with hockey players and coaches to ensure that the game was portrayed accurately, and we're thrilled with the result."

The show's success has also led to an increase in interest in women's ice hockey, with more fans tuning in to watch the women's game.

"We're excited to see the impact that the show is having on the women's game," said an NWHL spokesperson. "Women's hockey is a fantastic sport, and we're glad that more people are discovering it. We're working hard to capitalize on this interest and bring more fans into the fold."
