DETROIT (AP) — Young women, among those in a record-breaking crowd, held up signs with messages for the Professional Women's Hockey League.

“PWHL DETROIT NEEDS A TEAM,” was printed on one side of the signs.

The six-team PWHL may expand next season — in its third year — and is touring cities potentially on the list to get in the game.
