Welcome back to Jocks Next Gen, where we break down the future stars of the PWHL and spotlight the next wave of elite talent. In this week’s episode, we dive into the exceptional plays that set this week’s prospects apart, introduce our new segment This Week’s Hot Shots, and let you know where you can catch the hottest rising players in action over the coming week.

We’re also thrilled to be joined by Team USA standout and Minnesota Gopher Abbey Murphy. Get ready for plenty of laughs as we sit down with Abbey to deep-dive into what makes her such an exceptional prospect and a force to watch in women’s hockey.
