A podcast celebrating the stories, accomplishments, experiences, and influence of Asians and AANHPI folks in the sport of hockey.
On today’s episode, I talk with Eula Idemoto, Board President of the Northern California Women’s Hockey League and member of Ang Sarap, an all-Filipina women’s hockey team in the Bay Area. We have a wide-ranging conversation about Filipino food, inclusivity at women’s amateur and beginner hockey, and the presence of hockey titas (aunties) at the rink.
