CWHL is planning to expand in the United States

The CWHL has announced that their league expansion task force has identified the Twin Cities of Minneapolis/St. Paul and Chicago, as key markets for potential expansion of CWHL franchises.

The CWHL announced today that the league's board of directors has approved the recommendations of their expansion task force, who's job it is to find key markets for potential expansion in the future.

The expansion task force, led by former CWHL star Caitlin Cahow, has identified the cities of Chicago and Minneapolis/St. Paul as key markets for potential growth. The CWHL appears to be interested in expanding the league into the United States, as opposed to another team joining the Calgary Inferno in Western Canada.
