Women's hockey union takes 1st tangible step at Dream Gap Tour
'Cheers we heard were something bigger than just a hockey game,' says Brianne Jenner

The reality of what the new women's pro hockey union was launching didn't resonate with Brianne Jenner until she came out of the locker room and saw the crowd — many of them young girls — in the stands of the 700-seat arena.
The leap of faith taken by the Canadian national team and more than 200 other top players — a pledge in May to not compete professionally in North America this season while demanding a single economically viable league — took its first tangible step in Toronto over the weekend.
The stars played in the inaugural Professional Women's Hockey Players' Association "Dream Gap Tour" stop, which featured some 80 Canadian players split over four teams for a two-day tournament.
"I think going into today I underestimated how special it was going to be, being on the ice and when you felt the crowd," Jenner said after the team named after her defeated Team (Rebecca) Johnston 4-3 in the opening game.
