THE BAY AREA'S PWHL EXPANSION TEAM HAS A NAME: SAN JOSE SEA LIONS

The Professional Women’s Hockey League’s four new expansion teams finally have nicknames and logos to accompany them in preparing to make their on-ice debuts next month. It’s game on for the San Jose Sea Lions, Detroit Clutch, Vegas Vanguards and Hamilton Havoc.

The four markets were selected this spring in expanding the PWHL from eight to 12 teams and doubling the league’s size since launching on Jan. 1, 2024. Season 4 begins with an opening weekend set for Dec. 5-6. The unveiling of the logos and nicknames on Tuesday comes a month after the PWHL revealed the teams’ color schemes.
