The PWHL has partnered with artist Kezna Dalz, who designed a special Black History Month logo for the league. Known for her bold use of color and her ability to infuse warmth and inclusivity into her designs, Kezna's artwork for the Black History Month logo carries deep symbolism, telling a powerful story of celebration, resilience, and community within the world of hockey. The PWHL Black History Month commemorative shirt features Kezna's unique artwork and is available for fans to purchase at The Official US Shop of the PWHL.
In celebration of Black History Month, the PWHL is proud to make a contribution to Black Girl Hockey Club in support of their ongoing efforts to create inclusive spaces and opportunities for Black women and girls in hockey.
The PWHL's Black History Month games and initiatives are part of the league's overarching Unity Games platform -- a series of dedicated games bringing together players, fans, and communities to celebrate, learn about, and support diverse identities and experiences. In addition to Black History Month, other season two Unity Games include Mental Health Awareness, Community Hockey Heroes, Pride, and Women's Empowerment Month.
