Don’t worry Caniacs, I still write and this time I’m getting on my soapbox about Raleigh having a professional women’s hockey franchise. Recently, a new Professional Women’s Hockey League was launched with six franchises and a 24-game season expected to start in January 2024. Three teams are in Canada and three are in the United States. The American teams are in New York City, Boston, and Minneapolis/Saint Paul, but Raleigh would be a perfect addition if this league were to expand.
