The older of the two professional women’s hockey leagues, the CWHL, announced yesterday that a sixth team will be added to the league for the upcoming season: the Kunlun Red Star. The Ice Garden has an exceptionally good writeup on the announcement that covers just about everything you might be wondering about the move.
But the gist of the announcement is that the Kunlun Red Star will be based out of Shenzhen, China, and will compete in a full season of play against the rest of the CWHL in an effort to win the Clarkson Cup, the league’s championship.
