Laeticia Amihere from Mississauga, Ontario was drafted 8th overall by the Atlanta Dream.
Then they cut her.
The Golden State Valkyries picked her up, and now she’s a WNBA champion — winning against the Atlanta Dream.
She’s the second Canadian to ever win a WNBA championship 🇨🇦
Unreal that in their second season the Valkyries are WNBA CHAMPIONS!
THIS is what happens when you INVEST IN WOMENS SPORTS.

When’s the last time a basketball player has silenced doubters as resoundingly as Angel Reese has?
Former Toronto Maple Leafs president Brendan Shanahan is now a strategic advisor to Kilmer Sports Ventures on its PWHL investment.
Kilmer has been putting real weight behind women’s sports, most notably by securing Canada’s first WNBA franchise and owning the Toronto Tempo. They’re bringing in experienced people and investing in infrastructure, including the Tempo’s planned training facility. You can see they’re building for the long term.
This goes beyond doing a “good thing.” They recognize a tremendous business opportunity that is women’s sports and are committing the resources to help it grow.
Women’s sports are gaining national airtime and visibility, with the PWHL coming to Hockey Night in Canada. The audience is growing. So is the opportunity!
Investing in the people and infrastructure to sustain that growth is how you build something that lasts.

The Angel effect is real 😳
Game 3 in Atlanta is the most expensive WNBA Finals game on record, with the current get-in price at $201.
For perspective, tickets to Game 1 of last year’s Finals sold for just $23.
Nearly NINE TIMES the price 👀

Women's college basketball is back, and so is JuJu Watkins. Her return after sitting out all of last season is the biggest story in the country as college hoops teams hit the hardwood for 2026-27.

The WNBA says 51 telecasts during its regular season averaged at least one million viewers, the most in WNBA history and up from 19 in 2025. Nine telecasts averaged more than two million viewers, also a league record.

INBOX: Today, Unrivaled announced award-winning actor, producer and entrepreneur Issa Rae as an investor in the league. Rae’s investment came as part of the league’s oversubscribed Series C fundraise, announced in August, which propelled the league to a $650 million valuation.
“Unrivaled speaks to me and everyone who wants to set new standards, and what the league has done and continues to do for the best women’s basketball players in the world is something I’m proud to invest in,” said Rae. “After experiencing Unrivaled firsthand last season, it was clear that they’re building something special. I look forward to being part of the league’s growth and success to come.”
