The Professional Women's Hockey League (PWHL) and its players' union have reached an agreement to expand team rosters and raise minimum salaries ahead of the league's fourth season, according to a report Thursday.
The deal, announced on October 29, 2026, marks a significant step in the league's ongoing development. Specific details regarding the size of roster expansions and the new salary floor were not immediately disclosed.
The agreement comes as the PWHL continues to build on its inaugural seasons. In September, league executives Jayna Hefford, executive vice president of hockey operations, and Amy Scheer, executive vice president of business operations, unveiled the logo for the first-ever PWHL All-Star Game during a news conference in Toronto.
