Is this just a rebranding of the PHF? All this talk of “inaugural season” confuses me as someone who’s watched some PHF games with the same six teams, I think, for the last couple years

That’s what it looks like to me.

It’s not quite that. It’s the players from the PWHPA that will fill the teams, possibly management from the PHF is involved though. Almost none, if any, of the PHF players will get signed for the new league. The hockey will be great to watch but it’s unfortunate how poorly they handled the end of the PHF…players signing 50-100+K contracts right up until the day the league folded. Harsh business i guess.

Couldn’t the PHF players just join the PWHPA to be eligible?
