I may be a little behind. Have not kept up with the PWHL as much as I should. I understand they plan to add two teams next season(?), but have they mentioned anything about using the popularity boom that women's hockey gets after the winter Olympics to expand beyond that? No doubt in my mind that it is on their radar, I was just wondering if anything has been stated publicly. I know leagues like the NWSL have previously tried to take advantage of the international spotlight in that way.

Latest details I've seen (official & speculative) was from this source:

PWHL evaluating more than 25 expansion proposals - SportsPro

Two new teams could enter the North American women’s ice hockey league in time for its third season which starts next year.

Billie Jean King is on the advisory committee for PWHL Holdings, LLC. She is also very familiar with NWSL business strategies, and the same for other pro women's sports leagues in North America (ref. this article). I'm confident she & the other principal parties running The P' know more about the topic than you & me combined, so we mustn't worry ourselves about the operations of this very private entity.

And yet hope still lingers, with 12 regular season games left to play (a lifetime in the PWHL schedule). The P's Trade Deadline is at 12:00 pm ET on March 2nd. Now that Carp is back, they just need a couple of talented supporting team members to sharpen Coach Fargo's rough lineup. Pascal Daoust should be burnin' up the phone lines 24/7, angling for two more missing pieces of the Sirens' spotty puzzle that will make Spoon and MPP look like reserve list fodder. :popcorn:
