The Premier Hockey Federation announced a $25 million investment to its players over the next three years on Tuesday, and in the same press release was confirmation that the league — currently in its seventh season — plans to expand to Montreal and another American market for season eight.
“Montreal has been at the top of our priority list for the last couple of years, for obvious reasons,” said John Boynton, the chairman of the PHF Board of Governors. “You’d normally want to get there as soon as possible. And so it will happen next season. Montreal is obviously one of the best, most important hockey markets in North America and the PHF absolutely has to be there.
