The Professional Women’s Hockey League will launch with three teams in Canada and three in the United States.
The new league confirmed Tuesday that their first teams will be placed in Toronto, Montreal and Ottawa, along with Boston, Minneapolis-St. Paul, and the New York City area.
The PWHL plans to launch play in January as the singular league for the top female players in North America. Players were previously divided between with the Premier Hockey Federation and the PWHPA, which led the development of the new league. “On behalf of ownership and our board, I am honored to announce the official name of our new league and to unveil the blueprint for this historic inaugural season. And we are especially proud to be providing this new platform for elite women athletes,” said Los Angeles Dodgers President Stan Kasten, who is part of the league's board.
Jayna Hefford had previously served as the union’s chief consultant, but has now been named as part of the PWHL's executive team. “Today, we look ahead to a phenomenal future for the PWHL,” said Hefford, who was named Senior Vice President of Hockey Operations. “We have never seen more excitement and demand for women’s sports, and through the launch of this league, the top women’s players in the world will have the opportunity to reach even greater heights.”
