PWHPA

edit

The CWHL announced that it would discontinue operations at the end of the 2018-19 season, but Knight wanted to continue playing in a hockey league outside of Team USA.[2] That May, she became one of more than 200 women's hockey players who chose to boycott the NWHL and any other North American league until those leagues could promise a living wage and health insurance for their players.[3] On May 20, 2019, the boycotting players announced the formation of the Professional Women's Hockey Players Association (PWHPA) as an alternative women's hockey league,[4] with Knight as one of the most prominent representatives for the association.[5]
