“I am proud to be part of developing this groundbreaking league and to join an amazing group of advisors,” Stewart said. “The future of our sport has never been brighter. Providing more opportunities for the many talented, up-and-coming players is essential to continuing the growth of our game, and my ambition is this league serves as a platform and accelerator for those athletes.”
