PWHLPA President Stacey Says Salary Leak 'a Shock' but May Help Players Push for More
Laura Stacey says the leak could push players toward a new vote on salary transparency as the league continues to grow.
- On Tuesday, Professional Women's Hockey League Players Association president Laura Stacey addressed the leak of 2024-25 salaries by The Hockey News, despite the union's previous vote to restrict contract details to players and agents only.
- The union initially restricted access to contract figures during the league's first three years to protect players, but Stacey said the organization must now reconsider its stance as the PWHL fills arenas across North America.
- Izzy Daniel, player representative for the Vancouver Goldeneyes, called the leak "disappointing" but noted that transparency could reveal how underpaid some athletes remain while the product on the ice continues to grow.
- Montreal Victoire forward Catherine Dubois, who earned the $36,050 minimum, believes disclosure helps fans understand the financial reality, countering perceptions that players are making millions.
- Stacey expects ongoing discussions regarding how the union can take ownership of salary information, as players look to regroup and determine their next steps for pushing higher standards and improved compensation.
