Hockey Night in Canada to Broadcast Professional Women's Hockey League Games

The iconic "Hockey Night in Canada" broadcast is set to feature games from the Professional Women's Hockey League (PWHL) this upcoming season. The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC), which owns the "Hockey Night in Canada" brand, will air eight primetime PWHL matchups. Each broadcast will highlight a Canadian PWHL team and include comprehensive pregame and postgame analysis.

This move signifies a significant step in increasing the visibility and support for women's professional hockey in Canada. Radio-Canada, the French-language arm of the public broadcaster, will also carry these games, ensuring a wide reach across the country. The partnership aims to bring the excitement of the PWHL to a national audience under a well-established and beloved sports brand.
