The policy will give players the option to have their salaries disclosed publicly by their team and the league once they’ve agreed to standard player contracts. The league says that this policy is part of an ongoing effort to support its players and provide greater transparency.
“The PHF’s new era is driven by our commitment to provide enhanced professional opportunities for women’s hockey players that includes historic salary cap increases,” PHF Commissioner Reagan Carey said. “We are excited to add another layer of growth and transparency to our League operations and to continue to prioritize player autonomy. This policy supports all athletes equally and without any pressure or influence towards those who may choose to disclose their salaries, or anybody who may feel that confidentiality is in their best interest.”
The salary cap for the 2022-23 PHF season will be $750,000 per team, which is the highest in the league’s history. The PHF will also allow players to sign contracts for two years for the first time and players will also be eligible for signing bonuses up to 10 percent of their total contract value.
