New York University Langone, based in New York City, will become the official hospital for the National Women's Hockey League for the 2016-17 season.
The two organizations will jointly promote health and wellness in girls' youth ice hockey through a variety of educational programs, advancements in research and improved safety.
As part of the agreement, NYU Langone will provide the National Women's Hockey League with game-day medical coverage and will invite league trainers to attend the hospital's Hockey Sports Medicine Conference later this year.
"Forming this partnership with an elite medical institution like the NYULangoneMedicalCenter is a giant step forward for our league," said NWHL Commissioner Dani Rylan. "We are grateful to NYU Langone for its support of women's hockey and look forward to working with them to maximize the health and safety of our players and to promote wellness throughout the sport of ice hockey."
