On Tuesday, the PWHL announced six franchises (Canada's include Toronto, Montreal and Ottawa) in addition to details on free agency and a draft.

I didn’t see a thread, so if I missed one please let me know
Franchises will be 3 based in Canada (Montreal, Toronto, Ottawa) and 3 in the US (Boston, New York, Minnesota). They are planning for 24 regular season games starting in January.
The draft is scheduled for Sept 18, with 15 rounds
Tons to discuss, and definitely deserving of its own thread
