The Professional Women's Hockey League (PWHL) has announced historic growth following the conclusion of its second season, citing major gains across attendance, merchandise sales, digital engagement, and corporate partnerships. With the addition of expansion teams and increased community engagement, the league has taken significant steps in scaling professional women's hockey in North America and globally.
The 2024–25 PWHL season welcomed a total of 737,455 fans across 102 games, representing a 52.5% increase over the league's inaugural season attendance of 483,530 (85 games).
Average attendance also rose 27%, from 5,689 to 7,230 spectators per game. Since its inception, the PWHL has drawn a cumulative 1,220,985 attendees over two seasons, underscoring growing interest in the sport.
'This season, fans from every U.S. state and every Canadian province and territory caught a PWHL game, a remarkable moment for professional women's hockey,' said Amy Scheer, PWHL Executive Vice President of Business Operations.

The league's PWHL Takeover Tour™ brought nine neutral-site regular-season games to new markets, attracting 123,601 fans. A Vancouver game at Rogers Arena recorded a sellout crowd of 19,038, the fourth-largest single-game audience in PWHL history. In Detroit, 14,288 fans set a new U.S. record for PWHL game attendance at Little Caesars Arena, marking the moment the league surpassed one million cumulative fans.
Merchandise sales reflected 100% year-over-year growth, driven by the launch of official team names and logos, and new branded collections, including collaborations with Barbie, Peace Collective, and lululemon.

The PWHL also deepened its connection to fans and players through Unity Games, which celebrated events such as Black History Month, Women's Empowerment Month, Pride, Indigenous Heritage, Mental Health Awareness, and Community Hockey Heroes.
Each game featured custom artwork by community artists, and included special programming, in-game tributes, and collaborations with local and national organizations. These events showcased the league's commitment to representation, inclusion, and using the platform of professional sports to highlight diverse voices and causes.
At the grassroots level, the league launched its first Fantasy Camp in Toronto in January, an immersive experience that allowed adult fans to train, compete, and engage with PWHL athletes and staff, providing a rare insider perspective on the life of a professional hockey player.
In April, Minnesota hosted the inaugural PWHL Breakthrough Cup powered by PLAY Hockey, the league's first girls' hockey tournament. The event brought together teams of all ages and skill levels to compete, connect, and celebrate the game, reinforcing the PWHL's commitment to developing the next generation of female hockey playersand strengthening the sport's pipeline from youth to professional levels.
As the PWHL prepares for its third season, including the introduction of expansion teams in Seattle and Vancouver, the league continues to lay the foundation for sustainable growth, increased visibility, and long-term success in professional women's sports.

How a multibillion dollar defence bank could help Canada increase its military spending

A new multilateral defence bank aims to help Canada and its allies build their militaries to meet looming threats in an increasingly hostile world while also giving Canadian industry a leg up when it comes to producing weaponry and military kit to tackle those threats head on. And its Canadian president is hoping it will have a major presence in Toronto. Announced this past spring, the new Defence, Security and Resilience Bank could solve financial problems for countries, including Canada, that are under pressure to increase military spending beyond two per cent of their gross domestic product (GDP). Some estimates peg the more likely target as five per cent of GDP as Russia and China grow increasingly belligerent on the world stage. 'We have to use our capital markets of allied nations for overwhelming force against our foes,' Kevin D. Reed, the new bank's president and chief operating officer, said in a recent interview. The theory is the bank would allow Canada and other countries to re-arm, said Reed, who has helped start nine companies including Equity Transfer & Trust. 'Hopefully that acts as a form of deterrent against big conflicts.' The United Kingdom 'has emerged as the lead candidate to take this on,' according to Reed. 'That being said, we've … advocated to our Canadian government that there's a window here for Canada to take a co-leadership role with the U.K.' Reed would like to see a branch of the bank located in Toronto. If Canada chose to be the bank's host nation, or to co-host with London, 'you're probably looking at 2,500-3,500' banking jobs in Toronto, he said. The bank would be owned by member nations, including NATO and Indo-Pacific countries. 'They would capitalize the bank, we would get a triple-A rating, and we would take it to the bond market to raise money,' Reed said. 'If we have all 40 nations in, we would expect about $60 billion of equity into the bank over time, and then subject to the bond markets we would seek to raise $100 billion at first, taking that up to about $400-500 billion over time.' For countries that don't have a triple-A credit rating, it would mean a lower cost to capital, he said. It would also allow nations in immediate need of more defence dollars to tap the bank for money, rather than waiting for annual budget cycles. 'The real driver in this is that it would provide credit guarantees to commercial banks to lend into the defence sector,' Reed said. 'Most commercial banks … unless you're a big prime (like Boeing), if you're a number two or three or four in the supply chain, you're almost unbankable, historically, because of ESG (an investing principle that prioritizes environmental and social issues, as well as corporate governance) and just a view of defence.' The Defence, Security and Resilience Bank would be similar to Export Development Canada, a Crown corporation that provides financial and risk management services to Canadian exporters and investors, 'but way bigger,' Reed said. It would offer large banks such as RBC and BMO credit guarantees 'that would loosen up capital so they could offer lines of credit, trade finance, you name it, but we can grow the industrial base a lot faster,' Reed said. That would, in turn, speed up military procurement, he said. 'It takes nine years to get a jet or seven years to get a shoulder-fired rocket launcher,' Reed said. 'It's because the industrial base just isn't big enough. It's been constrained. So, this would push liquidity into the commercial banks.' Sovereign countries could also 'enhance procurement' by borrowing from the Defence, Security and Resilience Bank on the promise that they 'have to execute within two years,' Reed said. 'We want to foster that rapid-fire procurement that we know has been a problem for all member nations.' Right now, it takes 16 years for startups to go from selling the Department of National Defence on their products to procurement, he said. 'Companies just can't live in that — they call that the Valley of Death,' Reed said. 'That is a problem. If you want to invent a new bullet … in your garage, you're going to wait a long time.' Rob Murray, NATO's inaugural head of innovation and a former U.K. army officer, started writing the blueprint for the bank about five years ago. But, at the time, interest rates were flat, Russia hadn't launched its full-scale war in Ukraine, and U.S. President Donald Trump was not in power. You do not attract first rate people with third rate infrastructure. And right now, you go to any garrison, any base, any wing across Canada and the infrastructure is crumbling When the Ukraine war began, interest rates started climbing and people started recognizing 'threat levels are changing around the world,' Reed said. Then Trump came to power in his second term and started 'forcing the hand of many NATO nations' to increase their defence spending, Reed said. Murray published his blueprint last December. 'On the back of that he was invited down to brief the president elect down at Mar-a-Lago,' Reed said, 'and Rob's world just started to expand rapidly with proposed member nations seeking him out, asking how would this work? How can we get involved?' Murray asked Reed to step in as the bank's president in early February 'to help stitch together the coalition of governments' needed to bring the idea to fruition. 'Every European nation has been briefed,' Reed said. 'And we did the briefing for Canada right after the election' with senior people in Prime Minister Mark Carney's office, the Privy Council Office, and departments including National Defence, Finance, Global Affairs and Treasury Board. Reed also briefed officials in Singapore last week and plans to do the same in Japan, South Korea, Australia and New Zealand this week. 'We're trying to drive this around a consensus of a dozen anchor nations,' he said. NATO figures from last June suggest Canada spent just 1.37 per cent of its GDP on defence in 2024. The Liberals have said they expect it to reach two per cent by 2030 'at the latest.' But that's not fast enough for Trump, who has complained repeatedly about Canada piggybacking on the U.S. for military protection. 'While I don't like what he's saying, I see this as an opportunity to get ourselves going,' Reed said. 'We have not done our job in a long time. We've not fulfilled our commitments, and this a kick in the pants to say who are we, and what do we stand for?' Later this month, Reed expects NATO countries to accept a new spending minimum of 3.5 per cent of GDP for defence and 1.5 per cent for border security. 'To go from our base today … it's another $100-110 billion a year to ramp up to that,' he said of Canada. 'And that's not in future dollars. That's in last year's dollars. So, any available mechanism that can help grow the industrial base and get them towards those NATO soon-to-be targets is going to be well received.' Founding members of the bank will start meeting in the fall to hammer out details. Reed anticipates standing up the bank next year. 'I like the idea of another mechanism, and a very powerful and large one, and I think a very influential one, that can help us do more in the defence and security domain in Western democracies,' said retired general Rick Hillier, Canada's former top soldier, who has joined the Defence, Security and Resilience Bank's board of directors. He predicts Canada is going to need 'a revolution in defence and security procurement' to solve the Canadian Forces' equipment woes. More money could accelerate the acquisition of new aircraft, warships and submarines, he said. 'The component I'm most worried about is the army,' Hillier said. 'The army is broken. We're down people. Our bases and our infrastructure are in very sad condition. And we lack every kind of capability that a force needs in the kind of areas where we would find ourselves fighting right now. If things go south in Eastern Europe and (Vladimir) Putin and Russia get into some kind of thing they can't extract themselves from and start heading into Lithuania and Latvia, where there are several thousand Canadians, our sons and daughters, we are ill-prepared to insure that they're ready to look after themselves.' The army lacks self-propelled artillery pieces, air defence systems, technology that can detect, track, and neutralize drones, and equipment to remove minefields, Hillier said. 'We need to focus a huge amount of that defence spend on the army.' Canada has also been lagging in spending to defend our north, he said. 'We've got to know what's going on in the Arctic, to be able to see what's going on specifically, to be able to communicate what's going on and then to be able to respond to what's going, whether its air, land, or depending on the time of year, sea forces. Right now, we can only do a very small part of that.' The country needs satellites and ultra-long endurance drones to cover the north, Hillier said. Bases should be built in Inuvik, Rankin Inlet, and Iqaluit, he said. 'Then you have to connect … those spots by upgrading the airfields across the north.' The military also needs billions of dollars to repair and replace old buildings, Hillier said. Canada's military has a shortfall of about 15,000 people right now, Hillier said. 'You do not attract first rate people with third rate infrastructure. And right now, you go to any garrison, any base, any wing across Canada and the infrastructure is crumbling.' At CFB Trenton, the military's hub for air transport operations in Canada and abroad, people can't even drink the water on the base 'because it's contaminated,' Hillier said. At CFB Petawawa, 'the fire hall they've been trying to replace for years floods in any kind of a rainstorm,' he said. 'As soon as it shuts down, you shut down operations in that training area, in that garrison, for the brigade, for the helicopter squadron and for the special forces training centre.' Hillier believes the Defence, Security and Resilience Bank could help alleviate all of these problems. 'There's an enormous amount of momentum because the inherent good in it is evident to most people as soon as they sit and think about what it could achieve,' he Two ways to boost Canadian defence spending and minimize Trump's tariff threats Canada's boutique military: 'Should we not be able to defend ourselves?'

Oilers won't dwell on missed chances after close Game 2: ‘What's it going to do?'

EDMONTON – Should-haves, could-haves, an almost or two and some what-ifs. The Edmonton Oilers were so close to winning their second consecutive game at home to start the Stanley Cup Final. That would have put them in control against the Florida Panthers as the series shifts to the other side of the continent. Advertisement Instead, Panthers winger Brad Marchand scored the decisive goal on a breakaway at 8:05 of double overtime of Game 2 to hand the Oilers a 5-4 loss on Friday night and even the matchup. The goal came after Oilers defenseman Mattias Ekholm missed the net on a one-timer from the top of the circle to facilitate the clear-cut chance. It also came after Leon Draisaitl backchecked vigorously to obstruct Marchand's stick, which, despite his best efforts, might have inadvertently contributed to the puck squeaking through goalie Stuart Skinner's legs. 'It's a tough one to swallow, but it's not supposed to be easy,' veteran Oilers winger Corey Perry said. 'They played hard tonight. They got their chances, and they capitalized on that one. That's the difference.' Shots favored Edmonton 46-42 in a game that lasted nearly four and a half periods. It was evenly played, with Natural Stat Trick tracking the high-danger chances at five-on-five at 16-15 in favor the Oilers. Kasperi Kapanen had the Oilers' best chance in extra time. The Oilers would have been in a much more jovial mood if his tip of a Viktor Arvidsson pass had beaten Sergei Bobrovsky in the second overtime, 55 seconds before Marchand's winner. 'The chances missed, you can think about it, dwell on it. But what's it going to do?' Perry said. 'It's not going to do anything for you now.' Perry's goal with 17.8 seconds left in the third period put the Oilers into next-goal-wins territory. He outmuscled the Panthers' Eetu Luostarinen to get to a rebound and beat Bobrovsky to get the latest game-tying goal in Stanley Cup Final history. He also gave the Oilers a chance at their eighth third-period comeback in the playoffs, which could have matched an NHL single-year record. An eighth comeback victory would have equaled the franchise playoff marks set in 1987 and 1991. Advertisement Instead, the Oilers lost their first overtime contest this spring after claiming the first four — on three goals from Draisaitl and another from Kapanen. It was also the first time they've ever lost an extra-time game in the Cup Final. They'd previously won all four of their attempts, with Jari Kurri (1987), Petr Klima (1990), Fernando Pisani (2006) and Draisaitl (Game 1 this year) netting the pivotal goals. 'There's going to be some disappointment,' Oilers coach Kris Knoblauch said. 'But we've had the mentality, no matter what happens — bad game, close game, overtime, heartbreaking, easy, whatever it is – we put it behind us and we get ready for the next one. 'You learn in the playoffs, things don't always go your way. Sometimes it works in your favor, sometimes it doesn't.' Friday night provided a contrast to Game 1, when the Oilers overcame a two-goal deficit, tied the score in the third and got a goal from Draisaitl on a power play in the last minute of the first overtime period. 'Each game could've went either way,' Knoblauch said. 'When you win the first one, you're disappointed you don't follow up and win the second one. But we're going there with a split and that's fine with us.' They're fine with it, but they're not thrilled with it. Aside from the missed chances, there were other factors the Oilers will want to address. The power play was 1-for-6 and allowed a Panthers goal when Marchand, the overtime hero, scored on another breakaway, which gave the Panthers a 4-3 lead in the second period. They'll also have to improve when it comes to dealing with pesky Panthers forwards around their net. In Game 1, Sam Bennett fell into Skinner after some contact from defenseman Brett Kulak, and a shot hit him and went in. The Oilers challenged for goaltender interference and were unsuccessful, and the Panthers scored on the subsequent power play. Advertisement In Game 2, Bennett was in Skinner's kitchen again, toppling into him midway through the first period after a nudge from Ekholm. This time, Bennett was penalized as Skinner remained down and needed some attention from Oilers head athletic therapist T.D. Forss. Then, in the second period, longtime nemesis Matthew Tkachuk was guided into Skinner as a point shot from former Oiler Dmitry Kulikov headed toward the net. The puck beat Skinner, and the Oilers opted not to challenge. 'We know they have players that want to drive the net,' Oilers defenseman John Klingberg said. 'It comes to us trying to box out earlier. But we're trying to drive the net, too. 'They're a high-shooting volume team and, if you are that, they're bringing people to the net as well.' There are things to clean up. Things that could have been better. Factors that might have led to a better result. 'It's very close out there. It's not a lot of room and ice out there,' Klingberg said. 'But we battled back, scoring that goal got some momentum, had some good chances in overtime as well as them. It's a bounce here and there.' The Oilers easily could have improved to 14-2 in their last 16 games and taken a stranglehold on this series. Instead, they'll have to take solace in a split. 'At this time of year, you've got to move on,' Draisaitl said. 'There's no time (spent) thinking about it too long. It stings right now, but we have to move on.'

Cantor Says These 2 SaaS Stocks Are Top Picks as AI Rewrites the Software Playbook

AI and cloud services have already made their mark on the tech landscape, and the next iteration is taking shape: artificial intelligence software as a service, or AI SaaS. Simply put, it refers to the use of cloud technology to deliver advanced AI tools while minimizing cost and resource demands for end users. Easily unpack a company's performance with TipRanks' new KPI Data for smart investment decisions Receive undervalued, market resilient stocks right to your inbox with TipRanks' Smart Value Newsletter The cloud can already reach a wide range of customers, users who require high-end computing but can't support the infrastructure themselves. Adding AI to the mix will put advanced functions – think machine learning and natural language processing – into the cloud's toolbox. From a user perspective, putting AI tools into the subscription-based SaaS model will also give advantages in flexibility and scalability. The opportunity here is substantial. According to Zion Market Research, last year, the AI SaaS market was estimated to be worth $115.22 billion – and it's predicted to see a CAGR of 38% or more over the next decade, to reach $2.97 trillion by 2034. Covering the AI/SaaS segment from Cantor, analyst Matthew VanVliet sees major upside in this space – and in the stocks poised to benefit. 'We believe there is ample upside for the group ahead, as AI represents a much greater catalyst than anything in the past couple of years, more significant and sustainable than pandemic-era work-from-anywhere investments. Our view is the opportunity for growth to re-accelerate points to upside for the AI winners, unlocking multiple expansion if this plays out as we are expecting,' VanVliet opined. Building on that bullish outlook, the analyst has singled out two top picks he believes are especially well-positioned to ride this next wave of AI-driven growth – a view echoed by the broader analyst community. According to the TipRanks database, both stocks carry Strong Buy consensus ratings from the Street. Let's take a closer look. Klaviyo, Inc. (KVYO) The first company we'll look at here is Klaviyo, a software firm that brings CRM (customer relationship management) to the B2C world. The company fields a proprietary data platform with AI insights, to give its customers effective marketing automation, data analysis, and customer service. The aim here is personalized service – Klaviyo's customers can use the company's software packages to improve their own customers' interactions: customer profiles, omnichannel campaigns, web forms, and more. Klaviyo has built its operations and reputation on the quality of its data-based services – which positioned the company well to integrate AI into its offerings. The company's email and SMS marketing services already make use of AI tech to smooth out customization and targeting, to automate content generation, and to optimize send times. Klaviyo's clean data library is a key support for the AI services. Strong services have allowed this company to build a solid customer base. In its last financial release, Klaviyo defined a customer as 'a distinct paid subscription to our platform;' by that definition, the company stated that it had over 169,000 customers as of this past March 31. Within that customer base, the number of large customers – defined as those generating more than $50,000 in annual recurring revenue (ARR) came to 3,030, up 40% year-over-year. In addition to building a strong customer base, Klaviyo's 1Q25 financial release also showed quarterly revenue of $279.8 million, up 33% year-over-year and $11.89 million ahead of the forecasts. The company ran a net loss in the quarter, of 5 cents per share, but that was one cent per share better than had been anticipated. Turning to Cantor's VanVliet, we find the analyst upbeat on Klaviyo, citing the company's strong position and its large total addressable markets and potential for growth. He writes of the stock, 'KVYO's core ecommerce/retail SAM is ~$16b, with a clear eye to more of the market as the platform expands, uptake of its CRM increases, such that it becomes a true system of record, and AI broadens its reach. KVYO's TAM also keeps expanding as it moves upmarket and diversifies across new industries and geographies. Within the US, it sizes the TAM at $34b and the global opportunity at $68b. At $1b+ of revenue today, KVYO's penetration remains low, providing it a long runway of potential future growth.' VanVliet's comments back up his Overweight (i.e., Buy) rating here, and his $48 price target implies a potential gain of 41% for the shares in the year ahead. (To watch VanVliet's track record, click here) The Strong Buy consensus rating on KVYO shares is based on 18 recent Wall Street recommendations, which break down to 15 Buys and 3 Holds. The stock's $33.95 current trading price and $43.41 average target together suggest a one-year upside of 28%. (See KVYO stock forecast) HubSpot, Inc. (HUBS) Next on our list of Cantor's Top Picks is HubSpot, the well-known marketing software platform. The company has a reputation for innovation and has developed a solid stable of marketing software packages offered through a unified platform. HubSpot's software solves problems and smooths out processes in CRM, content management, social media management, and SEO – in fact, in pretty much any area of online direct marketing, inbound sales, and customer service. HubSpot introduced its Breeze AI toolkit last year as an AI enhancement of the company's existing services – and as an independent set of AI-powered marketing tools. The company's Breeze Customer Agent is billed as a '24/7 AI concierge,' capable of independently automating features in marketing, sales, and service. The system is designed to act on the human operator's instruction, with the AI agent handling the implementation. HubSpot claims that client teams using the AI agent see a 10% higher close rate on work orders, a 39% faster ticket resolution, and upwards of 50% of customer contact conversations resolved automatically – with the top users reaching 90%. In addition to streamlining marketing outreach, HubSpot also makes AI systems available in the content field. The company's Breeze Content Agent can scale content marketing efforts, create and publish landing pages, and generate search-optimized blog posts – and all in minutes rather than hours. The AI can even handle scripting and voiceover for video content. In its 1Q25 financial report, HubSpot reported what it described as a 'solid start' to the year. The company's customer count as of March 31 was up 19% year-over-year, a growth figure that offset a 4% decline in average subscription revenue per customer. At the top line, HubSpot reported $714.1 million in revenue, up 16% year-over-year and $13.7 million ahead of the pre-release estimates. HubSpot runs a quarterly profit, and in Q1 it realized a non-GAAP EPS of $1.84 – 8 cents better than expected. The company finished Q1 with $2.2 billion in cash and liquid assets on hand. Checking in again with VanVliet and the Cantor view of this CRM firm, we find him impressed by HubSpot's record of success. The analyst says of the company, 'HUBS is one of the few CRM industry players that has successfully moved into adjacent sub-categories (started in Marketing, expanded to Sales, Service, Content, and increasingly Commerce). We think this is a testament to HUBS's mgmt., which we view as best-of-breed. By methodically building the platform breadth and depth, HUBS is now gaining traction upmarket, which is key to sustaining mid-to-high teens growth over the medium term. HUBS is also building a more robust partner network, which is further accelerating upmarket traction.' Looking ahead, and specifically looking at HubSpot's use of AI to chart a new path ahead, the Cantor analyst remains upbeat, adding to his comments above, 'HUBS' organically built platform is well-positioned to leverage AI and strengthen its competitive edge. Breeze AI is already driving higher Content Hub attach rates (tripled y/y in 1Q). Further, we think Breeze will play an important role in unlocking Service Hub traction, which is critical to HUBS' next leg of growth.' Unsurprisingly, VanVliet rates HUBS stock as Overweight (i.e., Buy). His price target, set at $775, indicates room for an upside potential of 28.5% on the one-year horizon. HubSpot has picked up 28 recent analyst recommendations, which include 24 to Buy against just 4 to Hold, for a Strong Buy consensus rating. The stock is selling for $602.61, and its $749.32 average price target implies a potential one-year gain of 24%.
