Changes underway for women's hockey
The Professional Women's Hockey Players Association announced today that it intends to make some changes for the upcoming season. In an effort to improve the quality of its showcasing teams, tryouts and cuts will be introduced. In addition, the PWHPA will operate in fewer cities to increase the competitive nature of the organization.
The PWHPA will be divided into five regional centers. Three will be in Canada (Montreal, Calgary, and Toronto) and two will be in the United States (Minnesota and New Hampshire). Within each of these regional centers, local managers and coaches will have the authority to decide who makes the cut with a cap of 25 players per region.
Implementing these changes will provide the players with a more professional and competitive training environment.
In May 2019, over 200 female hockey players decided to make a drastic push for change. The group collectively announced that they refused to compete in any North American league until conditions changed. The players specifically cited lack of health insurance and paltry salaries as serious issues that needed to be resolved.
The call for change was publicized as many of the top North American women's hockey players, including Hilary Knight, Monique Lamoureux-Morando, and Jocelyne Lamoureux-Davidson, shared their statement on social media. The group intended to attract attention that could help restructure women's hockey in North America.
This group formed an organization called the Professional Women's Hockey Players Association. The PWHPA is composed of women's hockey players who want to see the fair treatment of female players in a professional league. The PWHPA is now gearing up for its second season of boycotting.
