Revitalized Women's Pro Hockey League Set to Launch in January

A new women's professional hockey league is set to launch in North America in January after a deal was reached between rival factions in the sport. The league will be run by Los Angeles Dodgers co-owner Mark Walter, his wife Kimbra, team president Stan Kasten, and tennis legend Billie Jean King. The agreement ends a long-standing feud between the seven-team Premier Hockey Federation (PHF) and the Professional Women's Hockey Players' Association (PWHPA). The new league aims to bring together top female players from North America, Europe, and Asia and has the potential to receive support from the NHL.
