Hilary Knight, Marie-Philip Poulin and their fellow U.S. and Canadian national team stars now have an idea of where they will be playing when the Professional Women’s Hockey League launches in January.
The new league unveiled its Original Six franchises on Tuesday, putting each one of them in NHL markets with track records of supporting hockey and, specifically, the women’s game.
“We didn’t do this for the short term. We didn’t do it for the long term. We did it for it to be permanent. We have plans,” Kasten said. “We understand this is going to be expensive, particularly in the early years. But we’re prepared for that and we think of all those amounts of money not as being expenses or losses. We think of them as investments in what we are building.”
“The demand is there, the excitement is there, the willingness for people to really embrace what we’re doing. I don’t think there’s ever been a better time,” said Jayna Hefford, the PWHPA’s former chief consultant who has vacated that role to become the PWHL’s senior vice president of hockey operations. “We’re incredibly confident for the future of this league.”
Discussions are taking place for the PWHL to take part in high-profile NHL events such as the Winter Classic, which will be held in Seattle on Jan. 1, other outdoor games as well as the league’s All-Star festivities, which will be held in Toronto in February.
