PWHL Expands with Major New Partners
Description
The PWHL is exploding onto the scene with major new partners—Ilitch Companies and Kilmer Sports Ventures—bringing serious muscle and citywide reach to Detroit and Toronto. After a record-breaking debut season drawing over a million fans, the league is poised for massive growth, including four new expansion teams in 2026-27: Detroit, Hamilton, Las Vegas, and San Jose. Hockey legend Manon Rheaume is now GM of the Detroit team, while the original founders, Mark and Kimbra Walter, stay on board to guide the league’s long-term vision. This isn’t just expansion—it’s a full-scale takeover of women’s hockey’s future.
