Professional Women's Hockey League

The Professional Women's Hockey League is a professional women's ice hockey league in North America composed of twelve teams, seven in the United States and five in Canada. Launched in 2023, the PWHL is the only professional women's hockey league in North America. The teams play a regular season to earn one of eight places in the playoffs, and the winner of the playoffs is awarded the Walter Cup. In 2019, after the collapse of the Canadian Women's Hockey League, the Professional Women's Hockey Players Association formed to advocate for the formation of a "single, viable professional women's ice hockey league in North America." PWHPA members boycotted existing leagues while organizing exhibition games to showcase women's hockey talent and fundraise for their cause, while working to secure new partnerships. In 2022, the PWHPA entered into an agreement with the Mark Walter Group and Billie Jean King Enterprises to establish a new professional women's hockey league.
