Team nicknames and logos, which were held up in the rush to launch the league, are also coming, but no timetable was revealed. A person involved in discussions told The Associated Press that the PWHL is focused on having New York play in one facility, either UBS Arena — home of the NHL’s Islanders — or the Devils’ Prudential Center, with the potential of playing select games at Madison Square Garden. The person also said the league is in talks to have Toronto move into the 8,000-seat Coca-Cola Coliseum, which served as the team’s home in the playoffs.
