PWHL Detroit is two days away from getting a name. The Professional Women’s Hockey League has posted teaser videos pointing to Tuesday, Nov. 10, as the day it will unveil the nicknames and logos for all four of its expansion teams: Detroit, Hamilton, Las Vegas, and San Jose, The Hockey News reported.
