PWHL teams won’t be going by only a city or state name for much longer.
At a news conference Friday prior to Game 3 of the PWHL final between visiting Boston and Minnesota, league advisory board member Stan Kasten said team names and logos will be revealed “sometime this summer”, per Hailey Salvian of The Athletic.
The six PWHL teams did not have nicknames for the inaugural season — simply having its teams go by Toronto, Montreal, Ottawa, New York, Boston and Minnesota.
The jerseys featured the city or state name going diagonally down the front of the jersey.
The league didn’t unveil locations of its first six franchises until Aug. 29, 2023. Jerseys were released in mid-November and play started on Jan. 1, 2024.
