The recently launched Professional Women's Hockey League reached its midseason point by unveiling its playoff format, hinting at the long-awaited arrival of actual team nicknames and logos, while putting aside questions about expansion in Season 2 or beyond for now. League executive Stan Kasten says one aspect that won't be changing anytime soon is the league's salary structure ranging from $35,000 to $80,000, not including bonuses. Kasten says that while while revenues two months into the six-team league's first season have exceeded expectations so have expenditures. As for the playoffs set to open in May, the top four teams will qualify with the No. 1 seed having the option to play against the No. 3 of 4-seeded team.
