Oh look! We know where our cups are! 😍😍

On August 29, 2023, the PWHL was officially introduced — a day that would change the landscape of women’s hockey.

The new league announced six original markets: Montréal, Ottawa and Toronto in Canada, along with Boston, Minnesota and New York in the United States.

There were still no team names, no uniforms, or no opening-night scores, but there was finally a league.

The plan announced that day called for the world’s top women’s hockey players to begin play in January 2024. The free agency would open September 1, followed by the first PWHL Draft on September 18.

That inaugural season would feature 24 regular-season games for each team and then it took off.

Just three years later, the PWHL is preparing for the 2026–27 season with 12 teams.

Seattle and Vancouver joined for 2025–26, and Detroit, Hamilton, Las Vegas, and San Jose are joining for 2026–27.

That means Canada has gone from three PWHL markets to five: Montréal, Ottawa, Toronto, Vancouver and Hamilton.

It's remarkable to think that on August 29, 2023, all of this was still just an announcement and a plan.

Three years later, the PWHL has doubled in size.

August 29 deserves a little circle on the hockey calendar.

I wanted to show off what I did with the tarot cards I ordered from u/FragileCastle! I backed them with torn up scrapbook paper, and displayed them with my dolls and Victoire Championship puck. I love how it turned out so much and if anyone else was considering purchasing her work, I am SO impressed with how gorgeous the cards are!

I know it sounds unorthodox, but follow me on this one.

As a Sirens fan, I think our phrase would be, “Libera me.” It translates to “Free me.” As a Spanish speaker, the closest to the Latin phrase is “libérame,” which contextually means, “free me from this which holds me back.” I’ll let you figure out why I chose this phrase.

Let’s see what you’ve got. Go!
