Following last month's collapse of the Canadian Women's Hockey League, more than 200 top female hockey players have unionized and are eyeing a boycott of their sole remaining option for professional play, the National Women's Hockey League (NWHL), without improved working conditions.
The players have created a new union, the Professional Women's Hockey Players Association (PWHPA), and are pushing for a "single, viable women's professional league in North America."
