2021–22 PWHPA season

The 2021–22 PWHPA season is the 3rd season of the ongoing strike by the Professional Women's Hockey Players Association.

Formed after the collapse of the CWHL in 2019, the organization consists of over 150 women's ice hockey players sitting out current leagues in North America. For the 2020–21 season, the PWHPA is organized into five different hubs, each of which fields a roster which will compete in exhibition games across North America and in the Dream Gap Tour tournament against each other. Three of the hubs are in Canada, in Montréal, Toronto (Sonnet), and Calgary (Team Scotiabank), and two are in the United States, in the Greater Boston area (Team Bauer) and in Minnesota.
