Let me ask this question: if you ARE getting a PWHL jersey(or sweater), which one are you getting and why?

I've already mentioned my choice(Montreal, ICYMI).

17 y.o. Primerano just scored the winning shootout goal with a slick move. Clutch moment.

Britta Curl also looks very good. She will fit right in with the league especially if it's as physical as it was in year 1.

Weird that they announced camps a month ago, and are announcing them again

Here are Montreal and New York's "old" ones


Haven't gone through to see what has changed, though I did notice on very brief inspection Toronto draftee Anneke Linser is now using her married name Anneke Rankila

The Stars of the Sceptres

After kicking off a new chapter for hockey with the PWHL, Natalie Spooner, Sarah Nurse and Blayre Turnbull are blazing a trail for women in sports


By Stéphanie Verge| Portraits by Markian Lozowchuk | November 13, 2024

When the puck dropped on the Professional Women’s Hockey League last January 1, diehard fans were cautiously optimistic. They’d been here before. Over the past two decades, similar leagues had come and gone, proving the prophets of doom—who insisted there wasn’t a market for women’s sports—right. But the PWHL scored big, despite not having team names, logos or home rinks. New faithful flocked to games, followed by the media and sponsors. Six weeks into the season, PWHL Toronto took over the 19,285-seat Scotiabank Arena for a face-off against Montreal, smashing attendance records. In April, the rivals met again at a sold-out Bell Centre in Montreal, North America’s hockey temple.

Toronto’s players—including forwards Sarah Nurse, Natalie Spooner and Blayre Turnbull—have become household names, kicking off a new chapter for hockey and women’s sports in general. As Toronto prepares to welcome a professional women’s soccer team in 2025 and a WNBA expansion team in 2026, the timing couldn’t be better. We sat down with the stars of the newly christened Toronto Sceptres for some real talk about the long road to success, meeting fans in unlikely places and why getting heckled is their love language. ...

Yet another P' First (maybe) ...
First Russian PWHL Player Ilona Markova Lands in Boston
Ilona Markova is attempting to become the first Russian to play in the PWHL. For now she's learning a new city and culture during her first visit to the United States.

When the PWHL's Boston Fleet announced their training camp roster, fans were pleasantly surprised to see that 7th round pick, 37th overall, Ilona Markova was heading to the United States to report for camp.

Markova is the first Russian women’s hockey player to be drafted into the PWHL. Many coaches and teams hesitated drafting her due to visa complications. Despite that, Courtney Kessel, Boston Fleet’s head coach, and general manager Danielle Marmer took a chance on Markova. ...
