Ep #362: NBA & NHL playoffs updates, Candace Parker retires & WNBA training camp breakdown

The GIST of It

Happy last pod in April!
Today’s episode of The GIST of It is another loaded three-parter as co-hosts Ellen Hyslop and Steph Rotz discuss some major women’s hoops news plus the latest from the NHL and NBA playoffs.
Up first, the gals give all the flowers to basketball legend Candace Parker, who retired over the weekend after 16 game-changing seasons in the WNBA. Then for part two, El and Steph discuss who’s through and who’s on the brink of being eliminated as the NHL and NBA first-round playoff action continues.
Then to close it out, it’s back to the women’s basketball court for an explainer on WNBA training camp and what the league is doing (and not doing) to keep their talent hooping in North America.
Big shout out to Aflac for supporting today’s episode! Just like The GIST tackles the gap in women’s sports coverage, Aflac closes the gap that health insurance leaves behind. Learn more at aflac.com.
