Women's pro hockey unites under new leadership after PHF acquired

The Premier Hockey Federation has been purchased by The Mark Walter Group and Billie Jean King Enterprises, dissolving the divide between the league and the Professional Women’s Hockey Players Association.
A new women's pro hockey league led by Mark Walter will launch in January 2024, bringing together top players from around the world.
The PHF will cease operations, with all player contracts voided, as a unified women's pro hockey league forms under new leadership.
The acquisition reduces opportunities for women to play pro hockey but brings optimism for increased attention and business opportunities.
The challenges of establishing a viable women's pro hockey league are significant, with no guarantee of NHL partnership or support.
