With Grant-Mentis out with injury, Curl-Salemme’s track record raises a bigger question about how the PWHL handles repeat offenders.

It’s a clear pattern:

Curl-Salemme already has one of the most extensive disciplinary records in the young history of the Professional Women’s Hockey League. During her rookie season with the Minnesota Frost, she became the first player in league history to receive three suspensions. One came for high-sticking Boston forward Theresa Schafzahl in January 2025. Later that season she was suspended again after an illegal check to the head. The pattern continued into the playoffs, when a hit on Toronto defender Renata Fast during the PWHL semifinals resulted in a five-minute major, a game misconduct, and another suspension.

She needs to be kicked out of the league, even before I found out about her transphobia I knew she was a problem.
