DETROIT (WXYZ) — Fans from across the country packed Fox Theatre in downtown Detroit on Wednesday for the 2026 PWHL Draft, celebrating the league's expansion into Hockeytown. The Professional Women's Hockey League, which is entering its fourth year, has doubled from six to 12 teams. Detroit is one of the league's newest cities. Mike Chau and Trish Golden, superfans of the New York Sirens — one of the league's original six franchises — made the trip from New York City specifically for the event.
