PHF strikes women's hockey streaming deal with ESPN+

The Premier Hockey Federation has reached an agreement to make ESPN+ the exclusive home for watching games in this U.S. this season, a major step forward for the women's hockey league in putting all of its games on a single platform. The deal covers 60 regular-season games for the newly renamed National Women's Hockey League as well as the Isobel Cup playoffs. “This is a tremendous opportunity for the PHF and most importantly for our athletes who deserve the exposure that a major network can provide,” PHF Commissioner Tyler Tumminia said in a statement released Wednesday.
