In this episode of Sports Deep Dive, host Rogers Harrison examines the meteoric rise of the Professional Women’s Hockey League (PWHL). From a record-breaking crowd of 17,335 fans in Seattle to sell-outs at Madison Square Garden, the league is no longer a startup—it is a takeover. We trace the league's origin from a PWHPA player boycott to the crucial backing of the Mark Walter Group and the strategic vision of Billie Jean King. The discussion covers the "Original Six" teams—Boston, Minnesota, Montreal, Toronto, New York, and Ottawa—alongside new expansion franchises like the Vancouver Goldeneyes and Seattle Torrent.
