Las Vegas’ professional sports portfolio is expected to grow again this week with the planned addition of a Professional Women’s Hockey League expansion franchise.
An official announcement about the expansion is expected to take place Wednesday afternoon at T-Mobile Arena, according to a person with direct knowledge of the situation.
There are eight active teams in the PWHL, with an expansion franchise announced this month for Detroit. Two more expansion teams could be announced to bring the top women’s professional hockey league to 12 members.
It is unclear where a PWHL team would play, but the two options would be T-Mobile Arena where the NHL’s Golden Knights play and Lee’s Family Forum in Henderson, where the American Hockey League Silver Knights play.
This is a developing story. Check back for updates.
