Hockey Night in Canada is set to return to CBC this fall, this time showcasing women’s hockey. Starting Dec. 5, CBC will air eight Saturday night PWHL games. The partnership could bring a much bigger audience to the expanding women's league.

The action continues at 7 p.m. ET when the first-ever women’s hockey game will be featured on CBC’s Hockey Night in Canada. That game features the reigning Walter Cup champion Montréal Victoire hosting PWHL Hamilton.
