It's the players from the PWHPA that will fill the teams, possibly management from the PHF is involved though. Almost none, if any, of the PHF players will get signed for the new league. The hockey will be great to watch but it's unfortunate how poorly they handled the end of the PHF...players signing 50-100+K contracts right up until the day the league folded. Harsh business i guess. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] baronvonj@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) Couldn't the PHF players just join the PWHPA to be eligible? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Leeny@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 years ago Guess I was wrong and many of them did get drafted.
