The board of Directors of the Canadian Women’s Hockey League (CWHL) decided to discontinue operations effective May 1, 2019, as they deemed the business operations to no longer be economically sustainable.

CWHL, founded in 2007, had a mandate to grow the sport of women’s hockey, and to that extent it more than achieved its goal.

The board includes two lawyers who have different capacities within the organization; one works as  Counsel and Director of Risk Management, whereas the other brings in her experience as corporate counsel. It is interesting to see what their role will be going forward as the organization ceases its operations.
