PWHL Planning Five Phase Expansion Process, Here Are The Details

The PWHL is planning a five phase expansion process beginning May 28, running through June 13. Here are the details of the proposed plan that will see expansion teams sign or select 10 players, and each existing team lose no more than four signed players.

The PWHLPA today sent PWHL players a five-page document, obtained by The Hockey News, explaining the new process for expansion.

In the process, the PWHLPA assumes there will be four expansion teams. As mentioned on a previous email sent to The Hockey News, if it ends up being less than four expansion teams, the PWHLPA will adjust rapidly to adapt those rules

The proposed PWHL expansion process runs in five phases, from May 28 to June 13, with the Entry Draft scheduled for June 17, and an open signing period beginning June 19.
