The women are coming. This week, the ladies get into the details around the new Professional Women's Hockey League, which kicks off January 1st; the questionable (unofficial) team names, "Brads, Dads and Chads" (thank you, Taylor Swift), which leads to a new segment on The Bits: Roasted Nuts.

Snuggle up with The Bits and learn some fun facts about our sweet boy Zach Hyman. Quinn puts the girls to the test with trivia about the Oilers forward, and Paulina puts the psychology major she doesn’t have to use by psychoanalyzing your favourite Christmas movie. Follow along as Claire discovers where her fear of home invasions all began.

We're back to our regular scheduled programming on The Bits and we've got a jam packed episode for you this week. We discuss Leon Draisaitl’s new contract, his partner Celeste's influence and what this means for the team going forward, in addition to Edmonton’s ongoing struggle with “pride of place.” Then, we switch gears to Lauren Kyle’s chaotic Instagram post as she hires a new assistant. With the NFL back in action, we talk exciting storylines for the season (yes, including Travis and Taylor). Plus, they’ll share their early Super Bowl predictions and indulge in some NFL "haterade" by revealing their most hated team.

Connor McDavid and Lauren Kyle celebrated the wedding of the summer recently and we've all been patiently waiting for the photos to drop. Yes, the photos of the (other) royal wedding were officially published in Vogue Australia, and they did not disappoint. The Bits are covering everything we've seen posted so far, including the five dresses and the "old money" theme. What is an old money theme? Is that even a theme? Paulina explains the aesthetic that's been trending on TikTok over the past year. Plus, we talk about the recent bombshell delivered by the St, Louis Blues and what that means for Holloway, Broberg and the Oilers. Then, stay tuned till the end to hear what Quinn and Paulina learned from the Olympics this summer.

The first week of the 2024 Summer Olympics has provided a lot of inspriation, tears of joy, lessons in grammar about the opening ceremony (you have to listen to understand) and the rise of Canadian stars. But it also comes with a lot of drama, including angry Christians, and the cheating scandal that has marred the Canadian Women's national soccer team. The Bits dive in (yes, a lot of swimming) on all of it - including pettiness towards the world's all-time gymnast that we just won't be tolerating. #Girlhood is alive, Mykala!

The Bits are absolutely jacked for the Summer Olympics which kick off on July 26. Find out which sporting events they can’t miss, which local athletes to keep an eye on and who we are excited to see in general. Plus, Quinn goes OFF on her dislike of tennis… specifically the players, and… she’s not wrong. *disclaimer: Quinn wrote this description.

The Bits are in competition mode this week with a mock starting lineup draft for Canada's men's olympic team in 2026. Check out the different approaches to selecting their top lines. Who do you think built the best starting lineup? Plus, a historic announcement from the NHL this week.

Well, the cup didn't come home this week but that's not keeping us down at The Bits. We do have some thoughts and feelings to work through though...join us as we recap the loss, some highlights from the season, and our "special boys" of the playoffs. And if you're an Oilers hater, don't worry, the Flames and Canucks fans get a shoutout too. Later in the episode, we touch on the upcoming NHL draft and concerns we have for next season's roster with salary conversations in the mix.
