The newly established Professional Women's Hockey League provided a sneak peak as to where its six franchises will be based Monday night, a day before it is scheduled to make the news official.

According to the PWHL's newly launched account on X, the social media platform previously known as Twitter, the teams will be based in the New York tri-state area, Minnesota, Boston, Toronto, Montreal and Ottawa. Each market had an account with an @PWHL prefix. The sites just happened to be the only six accounts @theofficialpwhl is currently following.

All six markets were among the eight potential sites provided to The Associated Press by three people involved in discussions — with the other two sites mentioned as Washington, D.C. and London, Ontario. The people spoke to The AP on condition of anonymity because those conversations were private and no announcement had been made.
