The Skilled Women’s Hockey League has revealed the jersey designs for its six newly named teams.
Each PWHL team operated under its city name, with players wearing jerseys featuring the league’s logo in its inaugural season before names and logos were announced last month.
The Toronto Sceptres, Montreal Victoire, Ottawa Charge, Boston Fleet, Minnesota Frost and Latest York Sirens will start the PWHL’s second season on Nov. 30 with jerseys designed to reflect each team’s identity and to be sold to the general public as replicas.
Led by PWHL vice-president of brand name and marketing Kanan Bhatt-Shah, the league consulted Creative Agency Flower Shop to design the jerseys manufactured by Bauer, the PWHL said Thursday in a press release.

“Players and fans alike have been waiting for this moment and we couldn’t be happier with the six unique looks each team will don moving forward,” said PWHL senior vice chairman of business operations Amy Scheer.
“These jerseys mark the most recent evolution in our league’s history, and we are able to’t wait to see them showcased each on the ice and within the stands.”
Training camps open Tuesday with teams allowed to hold 32 players.
Each team’s 23-player roster, plus three reserves, will likely be announced Nov. 27.
Each team will play 30 regular-season games, which is six greater than the primary season.
Minnesota won the primary Walter Cup on May 29 by beating Boston three games to 2 within the championship series.
