Part of the deal was the expectation that the PHF would merge with the Professional Women’s Hockey Players Association (PWHPA) to launch a new league in 2024.

Key Points: 
  • Part of the deal was the expectation that the PHF would merge with the Professional Women’s Hockey Players Association (PWHPA) to launch a new league in 2024.
  • What was overlooked were the ways in which the consolidation of women’s hockey is strikingly similar to the evolution of men’s professional hockey and the NHL over a century ago.
  • Nevertheless, at a time when hockey is under increased scrutiny, the NHL seems to remain the litmus test on which women’s hockey is measured.

Coming to the defence?

    • Cox’s readers bemoaned the media that was, in their view, pushing women’s hockey on readers.
    • Those kinds of comments are unfortunately reflective of attitudes that view women’s hockey as secondary to the men’s game.

Similar paths

    • Cox argued that the NHL grew out of pro leagues like the International Professional Hockey League (IPHL) and the National Hockey Association (NHA).
    • The IPHL existed from 1904-07 with teams primarily in Michigan and southwestern Ontario.
    • With the announcement of this new league, women’s hockey may now benefit from its own infusion of U.S. capital.

Sports media

    • The media was also central to the NHL’s success.
    • Media members were embedded within team structures: Foster Hewitt, the broadcaster and famed voice of Hockey Night in Canada, was a vice president at Maple Leaf Gardens.
    • His father was an amateur hockey administrator, while also serving as a sports editor for the Toronto Star.
    • The development of a new women’s hockey league in 2024 offers the potential for similar change.
