2021-22 PHF season

The 2021–22 PHF season will be the seventh season of the Premier Hockey Federation in North America.

League business
Following the 2021 Isobel Cup Finals, Lisa Haley was appointed as the league's vice-president of Hockey Operations.

On April 28, 2021, the league announced that it was planning to double the salary cap of every franchise to $300,000, based on projections of financial stability for the seventh season.

On September 7, 2021, the league announced that the League would be renamed from the National Women's Hockey League (NWHL) to the Premier Hockey Federation (PHF).

Expansion
Plans for an expansion team in Montreal, Quebec for the seventh season were delayed. Of note, Boston Pride president Miles Arnone, a member of the BTM Group, the group behind establishing an expansion club, confirmed the league announcement. With concerns over the coronavirus pandemic, the earliest season for an expansion team in Montreal would involve 2022–23.

Team ownership
May 10 saw the NWHL announce the sale and transfer of ownership of the Connecticut Whale to Shared Hockey Enterprises (SHE), LLC, led by Tobin Kelly. Of note, the Whale became the first of the four founding teams to be sold to outside ownership after the league's October 2020 announcement of its transition to joint venture models.

The Metropolitan Riveters were sold to BTM Partners on May 26, giving them control of three of the league's six franchises. A transfer of ownership from W Hockey Partners, the new ownership installed John Boynton to serve as the Riveters' chairman.
