It may feel like the Canadian women's Olympic hockey team won gold in Beijing only yesterday. But only two years remain before Canada goes for gold again, this time in Milan-Cortina, Italy.
Halfway through the Olympic cycle, one major thing has changed: the creation of the Professional Women's Hockey League (PWHL).
The PWHL will change not just the way the Canadian team is selected, but who is on the final roster that goes to Italy in 2026.
Canadian GM Gina Kingsbury and her staff now have a best-on-best league to use as an evaluation tool. Players can play their way on or off Canada's radar with their performance in the PWHL.
