Chapter Text
Ok So this is my first ever ao3 post or anything and really my first time posting any sort of fanfiction so go easy on me. This is a women in the nhl au. i’m starting with the “Women of the NHL” group chat because i feel like it’s more tame and also gets you a chance to see like who are women in this. I may write other fics in this universe at some point but bear with me cause like i said im new to this.
I wanted this to be a universe that is at least semi- realistic. (That being said, as a PWHL fan, please forget that and its players exist for the purpose of this writing) So there will be. men that don’t support women in the league, sexism, homophobia, and that is also why it is less a split league but rather the women are kinda few and far between. not all teams have women because i picked who felt right and if i couldn’t think of someone on that team then🤷
This Chapter is intro stuff obviously and im gonna list everyone’s names and usernames. i wanted to write a chapter of the actual gc where they introduced themselves to the rookies who were added but i couldn’t think of a fun way to do it.
I am also posting this 2 days after the tragic loss of Johnny And Matthew Gaudreau. it will be semi included in the first chapter but not a plot line cause i feel like it’s disrespectful and it makes me sad.
