What’s next as women’s professional hockey regroups for the future?

Here’s the one, and essentially the only, detail that’s known for sure about the new unified women’s hockey league: They’ll start the season next January.

Otherwise, if you want to know if Boston will get a team, a league name, how many teams, roster sizes, how those rosters are constructed, if there will be a commissioner, and so on, you’ll have to wait until next month.

Then the fledgling operation will host a Los Angeles press conference that should give the league shape and definition, maybe even a logo.

“We didn’t give any details until our official announcement, which we’re working on now, I’m still saying it’s sometime in August,” said Stan Kasten, whose day job is president of the Los Angeles Dodgers but has been a key figure in the Mark Walter Group, which owns the Dodgers and bought the Premier Hockey Federation and created a sort of ceasefire with the Professional Womens Hockey Players Association.

We’ll reveal all the things you’re interested in, Kasten said. In the meantime, stay curious. You would have answers.

A league name and logo are top goals by next month, Kasten said.

Those kinds of things take time, you know, taking down trademarks and registering intellectual property rights, so they’re just things that take time,” Kasten said. I think we’ve come to a lot of these decisions, like the next thing you’re going to ask me is how many teams and what cities?

Good guess.

What about Boston?

Cities have not been discussed yet.

A six-team league?

We have never confirmed it.

And so on.

I say stay tuned,” Kasten said. But it was hard work. I actually just got off the phone with another colleague of mine who is on the road this week finalizing some details.

We’re definitely making progress, but we want to get a couple of things that are really tangible that just didn’t exist, we don’t have a critical mass to reveal yet, and when we do, we’ll reveal it. We were working as fast as we could, we really are, and that’s because this happened in the sense that both leagues became one, that’s what happened, nobody had been hired and we didn’t run out. So all those things had to be done.

As for the Boston franchise, the just-sold Boston Pride was a PHF success story both on the ice and in the stands.

Its status as one of the original six teams, or however many, is up in the air, said John Boynton, who grew up in Concord, still lives in the Boston area and, with Miles Arnone and others, was the owner of the Pride and three other PHF teams.

Sometimes I hear they mean it, sometimes I hear they don’t. “I’ve read about the team in Los Angeles, so I don’t know what to expect,” Boynton said. Personally, I think they’d be crazy not to put a team in Boston because of the huge amount of fans there. The Pride sold out more games than any other team, so the fan base is here. We know the Bruins are a passionate hockey market, Boston has a huge girls youth program, so I think it would make a lot of sense to be here.

And if it’s not here this year, I think it will be here very soon after that.
