The Philadelphia Flyers face the Boston Bruins in an NHL preseason season game at TD Garden in Boston, Massachusetts, on Friday, September 29, 2023 (9/29/23).
Sharing the ice during NHL All-Star festivities and informal training skates and crossing paths at various Olympics over the past several years, some of the best men’s and women’s hockey players in the world got to talking. The state of the women’s game often came up.
“You want to see them flourish,” Toronto captain John Tavares said. “They’re great athletes. They play a great game that we all love, and they do a great job at it and deserve that opportunity to have their own league and develop a history, a pedigree, a legacy — just like we have as men.” “It wasn’t easy for them to kind of get all that figured out and everything and the draft and have it all kind of work out in their way,” Minnesota forward Matt Boldy said. “It’s a process to get this done, for sure, as anything is to set up and to start fresh. I’m just glad it all worked out that it went smoothly and that things are going in the right direction.”
“They kind of decided like, ‘Hey, it’s time to take a run at this and get the best of the best, get them on a few teams and try and put the best product on the ice,’” Wilson said. “I think that’s probably a good plan and a good thing. And obviously some people lose their jobs, but that’s the way it goes.”
“It’s really to be there in any way we can to help facilitate the progression of the league,” Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly said. “They’re working on a very ambitious timeline to get a league up and running and do all the things you need to do to to make that happen.” Cooperation is expected to go beyond those six areas, perhaps all the way to Seattle, where the PWHL could launch its inaugural season as part of the Jan. 1 Winter Classic. NHL All-Star Weekend, which has for several years included women’s players, could be another chance with the event set for early February in Toronto.
