Honestly, that's the smart way to play it UNTIL the Force can get a home rink.

PHF ANNOUNCES 2022-23 REGULAR SEASON SCHEDULE
September 19, 2022
by Mario Forno

Historic Season 8 Highlights Include a Record 84 Games, Expansion into Quebec, New and Improved Venues for Connecticut, Metropolitan, and Minnesota, Live Broadcast Coverage on ESPN+ and TSN;

Opening Weekend is set for November 5-6

BOSTON, MA - (September 19, 2022) – The Premier Hockey Federation (PHF) in association with its seven-member clubs has announced the official 2022-23 regular season schedule. The eighth campaign in league history will feature a record 84 games played over 19 weeks beginning Saturday, November 5. All seven teams have 24 games on the calendar, balanced evenly with 12 home and 12 away contests, and consisting of four matchups against each opponent. Tickets are now on sale in all markets. ...

The first home game in (Montreal) Force history is slated for Nov. 26 against the Riveters at Centre 21.02, the team’s training facility based at the Verdun Auditorium. The teams will then play a Nov. 27 contest at Montreal’s Aréna Raymond-Bourque. It’s the first of six home weekends for the Force who will showcase professional women’s hockey across the province of Québec to celebrate their inaugural season. Subsequent matchups will be played at Aréna Conrad-Parent in Sept-Îles (December 3-4 vs Connecticut), Colisée Financière Sun Life in Rimouski (January 7-8 vs Toronto), Centre Premier Tech in Rivière-du-Loup (January 21-22 vs Boston), Aréna régional de la Rivière-du-Nord in Saint-Jérôme (February 4-5 vs Minnesota), and Pavillon de la jeunesse in Québec (February 25-26 vs Buffalo).

The 84 regular season games represent a 24-game increase over the 60 played in 2021-22. Each team will be playing 24 games for the first time since the 2019-20 campaign that consisted of five total teams. This season will see the introduction of Friday night games in addition to the league’s traditional family-friendly Saturday and Sunday schedule. A total of nine games will be played on Friday nights this season, with 40 games played on Saturday including 19 afternoon games, along with 35 games to be played on Sunday afternoons. One of the season’s Friday games will be played outdoors at Buffalo’s RiverWorks on December 16, when the Beauts host the Six. Another highlight on the calendar is a special neutral site event planned for January 14 between Montreal and Connecticut, with more information still to be announced. The league will pause the schedule during the IIHF international break Nov. 12-13 and for a two-weekend winter holiday break with no games played on Christmas Eve/Day and New Year’s Eve/Day.

Three of the PHF’s six returning teams will have new home ice in 2022-23. Connecticut will play the majority of its games at the International Skating Center of CT (ISCC) located in Simsbury, CT following the 2019-20 and 2021-22 seasons at Danbury Ice Arena. Before relocating to ISCC in the fall, the Whale will open the season with two games hosted at Milford Ice Arena, which will continue to serve as the team’s practice facility for the remainder of the season. The Whitecaps have also announced a new home at Richfield Ice Arena in Richfield, MN where they will debut on Nov. 18 against the Pride, and a day later the Riveters commence their tenure at The Rink at American Dream against the Six on Nov. 19. Boston’s Warrior Ice Arena, Buffalo’s Northtown Center, and Toronto’s Canlan Ice Sports York remain permanent home ice for each of those three teams.

Details regarding PHF All-Star festivities the weekend of January 27-29 including format and location will be announced separately. The 2023 Isobel Cup Playoffs will begin in March with more information including format and other key dates still to come.

Live coverage of the PHF regular season, special events, and the Isobel Cup Playoffs will stream exclusively on ESPN+ in the United States, and to ESPN international affiliates which includes TSN in Canada.

Tickets are on sale now and can be purchased online by visiting team websites or at Tickets - PREMIER HOCKEY FEDERATION. ...

Way back when ... when the PHF released its 2022-23 schedule, Dan Rice of SB Nation's ice Garden offered this review of Opening Weekend & Friday Night Lights & Notable Highlights. A good primer as the November 5th puck drops creep closer.

As a reminder, PHF games will be carried on ESPN+ this season.

Toronto Six forward Brittany Howard records her team's & the League's first goal of the 2022-23 season, late in the 1st period of the TOR game vs. the Minnesota Whitecaps.

P.S. - The Six appear to have successfully filled their in-game announcer position. All PHF games on ESPN+ this season, so you can see/hear for yourself.

Premier Hockey Federation Doubles Salary Cap for 2023-24

Still not enough to bring back the rogue PWHPA players, who are aging out quickly anyway. But it might draw a few more talented players from the college ranks, which would improve PHF competitiveness on the ice.
