Women Who Inspire TJ on the Ice Part 1
In this lively, laughter‑filled episode, Lisa sits down with TJ — ice hockey powerhouse, Maple Leafs fan, and all‑round inspiration. TJ shares how she fell in love with hockey at seven, worked her way through every level of girls’ hockey, and eventually earned her place playing university level Sports in Canada. She breaks down the cost, commitment, early‑morning practices, and fierce determination behind the sport, while Lisa brings her signature Welsh warmth, humour, and girl‑power cheerleading energy.
The two reminisce about TJ’s adventures in Wales and Scotland, from climbing Pen y Fan to tackling the longest Welsh train‑station name, and laugh their way through stories of beer‑league games, broken sticks, and the chaos of learning hockey lingo. It’s a fun, heartfelt conversation celebrating women in sport, family support, and the joy of chasing what you love.
