Someday I wish they would add the Premier Hockey Federation

I'd like to add women's hockey at some point, but it's going to be a fairly big project. The biggest issue (aside from needing to change all the 'he/him' stuff in the text to check for gender) is that the skill level of the top women's league is approximately at the level of a top male U17 league. The game's modelling can represent that, but it doesn't produce great results in the match engine. I think we're going to have to do some sort of translation thing puts women's leagues in a sort of special internal context that boosts the player ratings so the game sees the PHF players as being at an NHL-like level, but only as it relates to things like roster management and game resolution within the league. That way, it'll produce good results, but will still be in proper context to the rest of the hockey world, i.e. only a very small number of top players will be of interest to other leagues.

not expecting it to happen this year or even next year just making sure it is on the list of things to do in the future

Yes, but that's because a merged women's league is going to. So maybe that one, in the future!
