National Womens Hockey League

Legal - Toronto Maple Leafs operating a gym for National Hockey League players

Not Legal - Toronto Six operating a gym for National Women's Hockey League players

So we let the big dollar boys play but not the women?


The season opens with tripleheaders starting at 1 p.m. ET on both Saturday, Jan. 23, and Sunday, Jan. 24. The first game on Saturday features the debut of the Toronto Six, the newest NWHL expansion franchise and the first Canadian team to join the league, against the Metropolitan Riveters.

Perhaps the biggest difficulty is the logistics. Unlike the NHL or other legacy sports leagues, the NWHL’s players don’t play full-time. They all had to find ways to get the two weeks off — or work remotely from Lake Placid — to play this season.

There are few players who turned down the chance to play. Once the league had safety measures in place, including expanding testing from Yale on-site, the teams and league worked to help players be prepared for the half-month season.

Going to try and watch this online.
