After going as PWHL New York during its inaugural season, the club will have a new name heading into its second campaign. 

The league announced six new names for their original clubs on Monday, with New York taking on the name "Sirens."

All six new team names were announced on ABC's Good Morning America, and the new logo was released shortly thereafter. 

The new identity encompasses navy blue, teal, and a lighter orange color with block "NY" letters behind a "Sirens" wordmark. 

Their new name comes after developing a positive relationship with the New York Islanders in their first season.

A schedule featuring home game locations is to be announced, but last year's timeline calls for the schedule to be released later this fall. 

The PWHL's second season will likely begin in early 2025, with at least a few games at UBS Arena.
