NHWL Announces Expansion to Canada

Also an investment by the NHL to be the largest investor as well

Awesome news! The more that the NWHL can expand the more opportunities for female athletes and increased league stability.

I think there were discussions of merging the Canadian women's league with the US NWHL a few months ago, maybe this is a similar alternative.

LeBrun reported that tha NHL is giving 100,000 to the NWHL, that’s includes the 50k it already received plus the 50k it gave to the CWHL.  That’s less than impressive.

It'll fold when Hillary Knight wants to be paid as much as Connor McDavid.

Seems I should have read the CWHL folding thread. Looks like the two threads are related in that one league folding means the other absorbs some of the teams and becomes "the" women's hockey league.
