The Professional Women’s Hockey Players Association was formed to grow the game of hockey, more specifically women’s hockey. Their goal is to “create a sustainable league that pays a living wage to players, provides appropriate elite-level resources (i.e. ice time, facilities, trainers, etc.) and invests in marketing that showcases the players and game.”
In other words, the PWHPA is promoting gender equity in hockey by making it a true way for their players to make a living like the men in the NHL. This will be their first game in their Dream Gap Tour meant to showcase the women’s game.
