About this listen

In this week's episode of the Paisley Pirates Podcast, we shine a spotlight on one of the most inspiring voices in UK women’s hockey — Aisling Rafter.

From her early days in Belfast with the Junior Giants to captaining Team GB at the World University Games, Aisling’s journey has been anything but ordinary. Now a player-coach, mentor, and trailblazer, she’s leading the charge with Glasgow’s first-ever women’s ice hockey team — the Glasgow Thistles.

We talk confidence, coaching, creating community, and building pathways for future generations of women in the sport. This conversation is packed with insight, heart, and a fierce love for the game.

🎧 Available now on Spotify, Amazon Music, Audible, Castbox, and YouTube.
