Founded in 2023, the organization has approximately 80 employees and reported $21.1M in revenue as of 2023, functioning as a tier 2 media tech buyer. The company specializes in hockey, operating as a professional women's ice hockey league in North America.
On June 25, 2026, the Professional Women's Hockey League (PWHL) entered its 12-team era, marking increased stability less than four years after its creation. This expansion resulted in player movement, including Ottawa Charge General Manager Mike Hirshfeld's first-round pick from the previous year being selected by an expansion team for the second consecutive year. Previously, on June 22, Ilitch Companies announced it was one of two outside organizations partnering with the PWHL, designating Ilitch Sports + Entertainment and Kilmer Sports Ventures as the league’s first strategic partners. This followed news from earlier that day that groups led by the owners of the NHL's Detroit Red Wings and Toronto Maple Leafs made a substantial investment in the league, its first outside investment since its 2024 inception. Ilitch Companies, led by CEO Christopher Ilitch, purchased an equity stake in the PWHL as PWHL Detroit joined the league as an expansion franchise, set to begin play this fall.
