A Whale’s Tale For Christmas

Who hasn’t watched a child blowing bubbles and not been struck by the rainbow of color often contained in the bubble. The same way we were struck by that phenomenon when we were children blowing bubbles ourselves. Culturally over time, rainbows have signified positivity, things like, hope, promise, diversity, potential, connection, and more. Making soapy bubbles dates to at least the 1600’s, so Lady Isobel herself probably spent time making bubbles as a young girl. And now, it is in another sort of bubble that the Championship and possession of the Cup named in her honor, will be decided. And in that NWHL bubble in Lake Placid there will be a rainbow of color provided by the uniforms of the NWHL players competing within that bubble next month. And certainly that rainbow will signify the hope, promise, and potential of each team to win the Isobel Cup, and the connection to hockey history that it represents in the larger sense. Hockey fans everywhere got an early Christmas present this week when the NWHL and NBC Sports announced that the semi-final and Championship games in Lake Placid would be on national TV live on February 3rd and 4th. The whale goal is to be representing Danbury on both those days and to bring that Championship trophy back to Connecticut! Fins Up to that! Have a very Merry Christmas morning!
