PWHL - Boston Team names are Boston Fleet, Minnesota Frost, the Montreal Victoire, the New York Sirens, the Ottawa Charge, and the Toronto Sceptres.

If you haven't been keeping track, the new PWHL Boston franchise...

* Hired Danielle Marmer away from the Bruins to be the team's General Manager.

* Hired BU assistant Danielle Kessel as Head Coach. If that name sounds familiar, it's because she's Phil Kessel's sister-in-law.

* Signed F Hillary Knight, G Aerin Frankel, and D Megan Keller as their first three players.

* Boston has the 3rd pick in the PWHL Draft tomorrow night. The player that's been most frequently connected with them is former Northeastern star center Alina Muller.

Wait why does Phil Kessel’s sister in law have his last name?

Because she's married to his brother?

I thought my suggestion did support women. And grow the game.

The new team will be known as the Boston Wicked

I hope their mascot/logo is a witch.

Those jerseys show zero imagination. The white looks like a practice jersey..

Terrible look for the league. On Twitter, some are speculating that the new league didn't get around to registering trademarks for logos.

New leadership is not impressing so far. Season starts in 2 months, no rinks, no schedule, no team names, no logos. These are among the top women in all of professional hockey. They deserve so much better.

I believe the new league owned the rights to the PHF's intellectual property, too.

I'm pretty sure they could have just used "Boston Pride".

 

[BMC]

Not a fan of the name or the colors

 

[NeelyDan]

Those are, all, the dumbest possible names imaginable

the new york sound? what in the holy hell

 

[McGarnagle]

That name is wicked stupid.

Yeah but they have to sell these new amazing jerseys!

 

[GatorMike]

All the teams have basically the same uniform. Only differences are the colors and the name of the cities. That's incredibly disappointing.

As I saw someone on Twitter say, "major 'start the assignment the night before it's due' vibes"

Pretty embarrassing

Hey, I once totally missed the joke on here, and tried to correct someone that the Germans didn't bomb Pearl Harbor. I could practically hear people banging their heads off of their keyboards around the world.
