TORONTO, Sept 24 (Reuters) – The Professional Women’s Hockey League announced that its first-ever all-star competition will be held in Toronto at Scotiabank Arena, with players competing in a four-team, three-on-three tournament on March 7.
• The tournament will take place in a round-robin format, with teams broken down into PWHL Canada, PWHL International, PWHL USA, and PWHL Rookies.
• A combination of fan, player and media voting will determine the selection of all-star starters. League hockey operations will select reserve players.
• The announcement comes ahead of the league’s fourth season, amid record growth in attendance.
• “The PWHL was built to feature the best players in the world, and now fans will see the highest level of skill in women’s hockey showcased in a new and unique way,” PWHL Executive Vice President of Hockey Operations Jayna Hefford said in a statement.
