PWHL will host first official all-star game in Toronto

Summary

Scripps Sports president Brian Lawlor confirmed that the PWHL plans to stage its first official All-Star Game in Toronto during the upcoming season. The announcement followed the finalization of a national broadcasting agreement between the league and Scripps Sports. While the league and the PWHLPA included provisions for an All-Star event in their collective bargaining agreement, a standalone showcase has not yet occurred. In the inaugural season, the PWHL participated in 3-on-3 events during NHL All-Star week rather than hosting a dedicated league competition. The new broadcasting deal includes 25 weeks of coverage spanning from early December through May. The network plans to broadcast a Game of the Week each Saturday along with semi-finals and the Walter Cup finals throughout the season.
