“… It was a bit wordy, but in a way, I kind of liked it because it was about the league and not the team.”
The PWHL did file trademarks for some potential names, but PWHL senior vice president Amy Scheer revealed team nicknames and logos are coming in August. It’s one of many things that could change, and improve, as the league continues to grow.
