The Professional Women's Hockey Players' Association is resuming its Dream Gap barnstorming tour for a fourth consecutive year, while still developing plans to launch a professional league.
The PWHPA on Thursday announced its fall schedule will open on Oct. 14 and feature a five-weekend series plus a special event, with details — including locations — to be announced later this month.
The stops will feature four teams of 25-player rosters drawn from the PWHPA's membership of 43 Olympians, 75 players with national-level experience and newcomers who have just completed their college careers.
In the meantime, the PWHPA said it continues working toward establishing its own professional league, without providing any further details by citing a non-disclosure agreement in place with its corporate partners and sponsors.
