The head of the Professional Women’s Hockey Player’s Association said her group is finalizing plans with its new corporate sponsors to launch what would become North America’s second women’s pro league by the end of this year.
The Professional Women’s Hockey Player’s Association is finalizing plans with corporate sponsors to launch what would be North America’s second women’s pro league by the end of this year, a key stakeholder said Thursday.
If established, it would rival the Premier Hockey Federation, which was founded in 2015 and currently features seven teams. The PWHPA has internally proposed several models, including a six-team league with players paid an average salary of $55,000. “It’s all about ensuring that things can’t just fall apart and go away or change because someone makes a decision that it’s not going to happen anymore,” Hefford said. “So I think it’s important that we have someone that’s looking out for the athletes.”
“I think we’ve come a long way,” Hefford said, noting the PWHPA has partnerships with a dozen NHL teams and the National Hockey League Players’ Association.
