'They have to make the decision now.' PHF commissioner Tyler Tumminia placed the onus on the PWHPA to resolve their differences in hopes of finally establishing a single women’s pro league in North America.
Tyler Tumminia placed the onus on the Professional Women’s Hockey Players’ Association to resolve its differences with her Premier Hockey Federation in hopes of finally establishing a single women’s pro league in North America.
“We’re at the point where you have to come to the table now if you really want to grow it,” she added. “So I anticipate growing it together. I want that. We all want that. I think that’s what’s good for the sport. … And it’s up to them. They have to make the decision now.
Tumminia said the PHF has made strides to meet many the association’s demands over the past year. The federation enters this season with each of its six teams backed by private ownership, is offering benefits and has doubled each team’s salary cap to $300,000. The federation has six teams, which are based in Boston; Amherst, New York; Monmouth, New Jersey; St. Paul, Minnesota; Danbury, Connecticut; and Toronto.
