The PWHL is going to Detroit and Las Vegas with its ninth and tenth teams.

Two more cities are expected to join them in the newly expanded league next season.

I'd personally prefer basketball, but I feel like whichever of the PWHL, NWSL, or WNBA is the first to try a team in STL will do quite well.

We did get a date on the PWHL's tour when they were scouting cities and I heard it was a great event, but I'm sure there's a lot more to it than just that.

Hamilton was announced last night, I'm thinking a western Canadian city (logically) would be the 4th club. I don't know if Las Vegas will work for PWHL, but there are cities clamouring for a franchise if it fails in Nevada.

I made it to a game in Ottawa last month, huge raucous crowd, lot of fun.
