It's interesting that after skipping a year to play field hockey NY signed her to a three year contract. Most players are being signed to a one or two year contract. Janecke was signed to a two year contract for example.Makenna Webster article in yesterday’s NY Post.

My beloved Sirens have trouble attracting and keeping players. I'm not surprised they'd need to add some term to swing her away from the other hockey.
Why do you think that is the case? Cost of living differences between markets? Because they play in NJ?

Your first idea has more to do with it than the second one. With what we know the players are making, it's especially tough to manage in the tri-state. I wonder if San Jose will have those same issues.Why do you think that is the case? Cost of living differences between markets? Because they play in NJ?
I was joking on the NJ. Most of the markets have fairly high cost for housing.

You have a very dry sense of humor lol. I like it. Sad fact is these ladies are not being paid living wages although the pwhl is essentially the big time.
Some quick googling indicates that leaguewide PWHL revenues were around $15.1M, and player salaries totaled around $11.1M.
The salary info comes straight from the PWHLPA. The revenue figure, it wasn't clear whose estimate it is, or how accurate it is.
At first glance though, it seems more than fair. Surely, salaries are being subsidized by the league's investors as startup costs.
As league revenue grows, so should salaries. It's not a fully matured league like the WNBA yet, or even NWSL.
Hopefully the PWHL can land a substantial tv deal in the next year or so.

I think the salary subsidizing needs to be way more robust.
You should break out your checkbook
Problem is the CBA isn't up until 2031.
