The guys are also joined by NWHL interim commissioner Tyler Tumminia (36:30) who announces the league’s return, what went wrong in Lake Placid, what types of skills she’s leaned on to get through this difficult period, her openness to working with the PWHPA, what she envisions for the game, growing up around baseball and the types of business conversations she has with her husband, Pittsburgh Pirates GM Ben Cherington.
