In cities and towns across Ontario — and at Queen’s Park and Parliament Hill — our journalists work for you. Their mission is to dig for answers and tell you what they find.
This new feature — ‘Closer Look’ — is a chance to hear directly from those dedicated reporters and editors.
Every night, Village Media’s Scott Sexsmith sits down with one of our journalists to explore an important story they are covering. These in-depth conversations go beyond the headlines, helping viewers better understand how we gather the details that land in your local news feed.
On tonight’s episode of ‘Closer Look’: an inspiring work of art.
The Professional Women's Hockey League (PWHL) recently dropped the puck on its second season. To mark the occasion, artist Briony Douglas collected 127 game-used sticks from all six inaugural teams — Toronto, Montreal, Ottawa, Boston, New York and Minnesota — and built a huge goalie mask that stands four feet tall and six feet wide.

“It has been a long road for women in sports, and I know the PWHL has done so much to get where they are today,” Douglas said. “My hope is people will see this art and it will spark a conversation to discuss and empower the Professional Women’s Hockey League.”
