The iconic Hockey Night in Canada broadcast is making a historic shift by adding coverage of the newly formed Professional Women’s Hockey League, marking the first time its flagship show will feature women’s professional hockey. The move comes as the league expands its reach and visibility, offering fans a chance to watch elite women’s hockey alongside the traditional men’s games. Viewers can expect a mix of high-stakes action and growing momentum in the sport, as the broadcast aims to bridge gaps in exposure for women’s professional hockey. The announcement signals a major step toward greater parity in sports media coverage.
