Manitoban Leah Hextall will team up with a crew of female colleagues on March 8 for a ground-breaking NHL broadcast in conjunction with International Women's Day.

For the first time, the women are getting top billing at the Crowchild Classic.

A rally was held in Calgary on Saturday in support of creating a new professional women's hockey league.

Team Canada's Emerance Maschmeyer says the 2020 IIHF Women's World Championship is a pivotal point for women's professional hockey.

The six-team CWHL ran for 12 seasons and gave the stars of women's hockey a league of their own.

The Professional Women’s Hockey Players Association said Monday the paperwork was filed Friday.

For some women hockey players, the price for demanding a professional league that pays could be not getting a chance to play in it.

The group includes players such as Team USA stars Kendall Coyne Sheffield and Hilary Knight, as well as Marie Philip-Poulin of Team Canada.

In March, a week after the Inferno hoisted the Clarkson Cup, the CWHL announced it would fold because the six-team league was "economically unsustainable.''

As their league sells off trophies and jerseys, the Calgary Inferno's championship season was recognized Monday with the city's mayor proclaiming it "Calgary Inferno Day.''
