Tessa Bonhomme and Julia Tocheri have left TSN to work for the Professional Women’s Hockey League.
The PWHL announced on Tuesday that it has acquired the Jocks in Jills podcast, the women’s hockey podcast hosted by Bonhomme and Tocheri, as part of a new in-house media venture — the PWHL Media House — that aims to “expand the conversation and content around women’s hockey.”
Bonhomme and Tocheri launched the show during the PWHL’s inaugural season in January 2024, independent from their TSN duties. As part of the move to the PWHL, they will release two episodes each week — up from one last season — and will be creating content in each of the league’s six markets throughout the season.
“The only thing really in my career that I haven’t done is 100 percent cover a women’s hockey league,” Bonhomme, the Canadian Olympic gold medalist, told The Athletic. “I did not expect to be sitting here and saying that I was an employee at the PWHL, but the fact that it happened is the coolest, most full-circle moment in my professional career.”
