A burning question for each PWHL team ahead of the league's sophomore campaign

All six Professional Women's Hockey League teams will hit the ice for pre-season action this week in either Toronto or Montreal, as the league prepares to open its second season at the end of the month.

Each team will play two scrimmages this week, which won't be broadcast to the public, as GMs prepare to make their final roster cuts by Nov. 27 at 5 p.m. ET.

The regular-season will kick off on Nov. 30 with the Toronto Sceptres hosting the Boston Fleet at 2 p.m. ET at Coca-Cola Coliseum. The game will be streamed on CBCSports.ca, CBC Gem, and CBC Sports App.

The league has also brought in several new rules this time around, including a mandatory major penalty and game misconduct for all illegal checks to the head, and the "no escape rule," which will see players forced to stay on the ice until after the face-off when their team takes a penalty.

Coaches will also be able to challenge delay of game penalties when the puck goes over the glass, and should the challenge fail, the team will receive an additional delay of game penalty.

The league has also tweaked the wording in its rulebook around body checking to try to provide more consistency and clarity for officials.
