The new Professional Women's Hockey League was officially revealed Tuesday with six inaugural franchises and a 24-game regular season that begins in January 2024.

The PWHL will feature three teams in the U.S. and three teams in Canada. The American franchises are located in Boston, Minneapolis-St. Paul, and the New York City area. The Canadian franchises are located in Montreal, Ottawa, and Toronto. Details on home arenas, team names and logos are forthcoming.

The PWHL is funded by Los Angeles Dodgers co-owner Mark Walter and wife Kimbra. The Mark Walter Group purchased assets of the Premier Hockey Federation (PHF) in June to effectively dissolve that league in order to launch the PWHL as the only pro women's hockey league in North America.
