cberkas Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 So, after the PHF and Union (PWHPA) dissolved the PHF. Well now there is the PWHL with 6 teams Minnesota, Montreal, Toronto, Ottawa, Boston, and New York. Calling them the Original Six No team names yet The New York team will play in New Jersey, New York City arena, and Connecticut (because its close enough I guess). Neutral site games will be played during the season. NHL is supporting the PWHL. New Professional Women's Hockey League reveals six franchises - ESPN Quote "That means games in other cities that are not cities in our 'Original Six,' both NHL cities and possibly even non-NHL cities," Kasten said. "In some of our markets where we are not playing [home games] in the bigger NHL venues, we will probably have events in those venues. We'll be promoting those as special events." Let be real, play in arenas around 5K max. Quote Kasten said the league's business plan extends 10 years. "We understand that this is gonna be expensive, particularly in the early years. But we're prepared for that," he said. "We didn't do this for the short term. We didn't do it for the long term. We did it to be permanent." The PWHL is fully funded by Dodgers co-owner Mark Walter and his wife, Kimbra. The Mark Walter Group purchased assets of the Premier Hockey Federation (PHF) in June to effectively dissolve that league in order to launch the PWHL as the only pro women's hockey league in North America. Quote The CBA still has aspects that need ironing out. For example, Hefford said the PWHL is working on its "transgender policy" that will be in place soon and available to the public. She declined to specify which organizations the league was partnering with in establishing a gender inclusion policy. Yeah, this should be cut and dry. If you are born a male go to the countless other leagues or just realize you are not good enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cberkas Posted November 15, 2023 Author Share Posted November 15, 2023 PWHL Notebook: Training camp details, jersey reveals and coaching hires - The Rink Live | Comprehensive coverage of youth, junior, high school and college hockey The colors of the jerseys are alright (the Canadian teams having basically the same colors as the NHL teams) but no team names or logos. Minnesota's could be a St. Thomas jersey (could have hit a home run with North Star colors). I've also heard the league hasn't found where the teams will play their games at yet. For a league saying they are going to do it right are really doing it half assed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
