NWHL historical salary information

The recent PHF news over the increase salary cap for next season has reinvigorated the chatter around salaries and cap information in the league. So let’s take a look back at the information we have from previous season - from caps to (what I thought were) relevant notes about the season to the actual reported salaries we received back when the league was reporting them.
