In a statement issued by the NWHL Public Relations department on Thursday evening, the league announced that the remainder of the 2016-2017 will be cut short.
Originally, the schedule was built around the upcoming 2017 IIHF Women’s World Championship, taking nearly a month-long break to accommodate for the tournament, before concluding in late April. Now, the Isobel Cup Final is scheduled for March 19, prior to the start of the Women’s Worlds on March 31.
The Boston Pride will still play six more games this season, four of which will take place at Warrior Ice Arena.
