Taylor Wenczkowski's impact in women's hockey will be permanently remembered, though not in the manner she might have hoped. On Saturday, the Professional Women's Hockey League (PWHL) announced a significant first: the league's very first suspension. Wenczkowski, from Boston, has been notably recognized as the first-ever suspended player in PWHL history, following a high hit on Ottawa's Amanda Boulier.
This disciplinary measure reflects those enforced in the National Hockey League for comparable infractions. Despite the unfortunate label of being the initial case, it seems probable that Wenczkowski won't be the sole example. The event that led to this groundbreaking suspension in the PWHL can be viewed here.
