The Canadian Women's Hockey League appears to be expanding east. The Far East, that is.

Indications are China will ice a team in the CWHL for the upcoming 2017-18 season.

The league has not confirmed the addition of the Chinese team but players and agents are already talking about the potential benefits to both the league and the sport.
