The PWHL is heading to Sin City.
Las Vegas will join the league in time for next season, The Athletic‘s Hailey Salvian reported on Tuesday.
An announcement is expected Wednesday with youth hockey teams already invited to an event that day, per Salvian. The team would likely play at T-Mobile Arena, which hosts the NHL’s Golden Knights.

The additions would put the league at 11 teams for next season after it announced expansion to Detroit earlier this month.
One more franchise could be added as well, per Salvian.

The original six teams are in Toronto, Boston, Montreal, New York, Boston and Minnesota.
In addition to the Golden Knights, Vegas is home to the WNBA’s Aces and NFL’s Raiders.
