So this looks like it's coming from the remains of PHF? Wonder if I'll have any way to watch all the way down here in Texas.
- They may sell a package for all streams like the NHL does? Not sure. It’s a 24 game season so would make sense.
  
  Hoping for at least some ESPN+ replays if not live.
- Is this just a rebranding of the PHF? All this talk of "inaugural season" confuses me as someone who's watched some PHF games with the same six teams, I think, for the last couple years
  
  That's what it looks like to me.
It will be interesting to see what the 24 games schedule will be like. Probably wont be like NHL team (3-4 games a week). Hopefully their playoffs wont be the same time as nhl or else that will be lota hockey to watch a day when the next playoff time comes
No Connecticut Whale!

booooo

Enjoyed watching a lot of PHF games last season and I hope this works out for players and teams.
- Rats! The Whale were my favourite team, and as a Torontonian. I think 6ix is a stupid name. Apparently franchise names have yet to be revealed
