PHF salary cap to double for 2023-24 season

Some great news came out of the Premier Hockey Federation (PHF) this morning, as the women's professional hockey league announced that their salary cap will double from $750,000 to $1.5 million for the 2023-24 season.

This marks the third straight year of substantial growth for pay in the league, as it has increased by 900 per cent since 2021. Heading into the year 2021, the league's salary cap was just $150,000, a true sign of how much the women's game is growing throughout North America.

As of now, there are currently seven teams that compete in the PHF. The league has secured landmark broadcast and corporate sponsorships, and has seen a significant increase in digital viewing and engagement on all platforms over the past three years. The hope is that this growth will continue, and an even better increase can occur for the 2024-25 season.
