The head of the Professional Women’s Hockey Player’s Association tells The Associated Press that her group is finalizing plans with its new corporate sponsors to launch what would become North America’s second women’s pro league by the end of this year. Jayna Hefford declined to put a firm date on the launch beyond a timeline between September and December. The league would be made up of U.S. and Canadian national team players. It would rival the seven-team Premier Hockey Federation, a women’s hockey league established in 2015.
