Today, the Professional Women’s Hockey League (PWHL) announced the first suspension in the history of the young league. PWHL Boston forward Taylor Wenczkowski has been suspended for one game for a hit to the head of PWHL Ottawa defender Amanda Boulier.

Minnesota Dominates, but Loses to Montréal in PWHL Action
January 25, 2024 by Mariah Stark (Holland)
After a big come-from-behind win on the road, PWHL Minnesota was back at home on Wednesday, Jan. 24, to take on PWHL Montréal for the second time this season in front of a crowd of just over 5,000. Their first meeting was also at home, and they came out with a 3-0 win. They started with some great chances, but Montréal got the early lead just minutes into the first.
Wenczkowski should not have been suspended but look who did it. Only trying to make a name for herself.(Hefford)
