The WNBA season runs from mid-May to mid-October (including playoffs). The PWHL is planning to start in November and I suspect will wrap up before mid-May.Seemed like a matter of time. This might make the Toronto PWHL team's hunt for a new arena more challenging.
The WNBA is the one league on the planet where there’s not enough teams for all the talent. They could expand by 6-8 teams (at least) tomorrow and be perfectly fine. I suspect with this women’s sports boom, there will be quick expansion.That's great news but many years over due. And call me biased but the league should seriously look into Vancouver as well. No doubt it will succeed there, as well.
If they don't capitalize with Clark bringing in the bacon by expanding rapidly from this point on, they need to pack it in. Thankfully, the brass realize the golden opportunity they've been handed, and they can be significantly more aggressive in terms of expansion from this point on.The WNBA is the one league on the planet where there’s not enough teams for all the talent.

They’ve already been working towards that. The league is on good footing, Caitlin Clark isn’t taking things from bad to good, she’s hopefully taking them from good to great. If Caitlin Clark decided tomorrow that she’s going to become a recluse monk and go live in a mountain cave and never plays again, the league would still be fine and still be in need of a rapid growth phase. Just maybe not as quick.If they don't capitalize with Clark bringing in the bacon by expanding rapidly from this point on, they need to pack it in.

How so?Seemed like a matter of time. This might make the Toronto PWHL team's hunt for a new arena more challenging.
Just to highlight further to this, we went through a nationally televised draft where 36 players were picked and only 13 made their teams. There’s some players whose rights are held overseas, but this was the generational draft. It’s not unusual for first round picks to get cut loose. There’s not enough seats at the table.They’ve already been working towards that.

Yeah...Toronto PWHL is at the moment not at all worried considering they're technically based out of Mattamy, and have only taken over Coca-Cola Coliseum for the last few regular season games and the playoffs. Unless TMU decides to kick them out, I doubt they're that worried about losing a home if they decide to make CCC full time.How so?
