With Pro Sports Paused, a Women’s Hockey League Expands

According to emails reviewed by The New York Times, an employee of Maple Leafs Sports Entertainment, the parent company of the Maple Leafs, was contacted by an investor in the N.W.H.L.’s Toronto team. When asked for a follow-up comment, Steve Keogh, director of media relations for the Maple Leafs, provided a statement that said: “No one from the N.W.H.L. league office spoke directly with our management/hockey operations team. To be clear, we were unaware of the timing of any announcement; nor have we had any formal communications between our respective offices.”
