I disagree on two points.

One, the games against the US were one goal games. While they were the better team, it wasn’t dominating. Add in the US was playing without one of the best female players in the game, and you can hardly claim any superiority. Canada vs USA hockey is always fun, as IRS razor thin, either way.

Two, if a women’s league can’t stand and make money on its own, why should the NHL lose money to prop it up? The NBA loses a ton on the WNBA. Somehow, losing money is a virtue? I have no problem with women attempting to play in the NHL, or having their own league, but to lose money doing so, doesn’t make any sense.

It’s kind of like the NCAA Basketball tourney, the kids play their hearts out, but less than 10% of them will play in the NBA. That’s just life. If we’re going to start a WNHL league that’s a guaranteed money loser, does that mean we need to expand the NBA or NHL to 60 teams, so more young men can play? Of course the answer is no. At what point do you draw the line?

Bottom line is, unless you have some benevolent billionaires who don’t mind losing a ton of money every year, it’s not going to happen.

And please don’t think it’s a chauvinistic post. It’s just economics and reality.

for the same reason the NHL stays in ARZ or FLA even though they lose money every year. to develop a new market.
women represent over 50% of the population, interest them in hockey early, the more will play the game having role models, the more will become hockey fans and follow the NHL.

hey man, get your own material

I'll join my voices to the ones saying watching the women play in the Olympics is great. I always watch the game in the final vs the US because of the hype around it.

But I would probably never watch the women's hockey league if they created one.

There's already so much entertainment available to me and so little time... I almost cannot imagine a scenario where this is what I end up doing.

It takes nothing away from the girls and how amazing they can play, but I barely watch AHL or LHJMQ games as well... and I'd probably watch those before.

I watch team Canada womens hockey everytime its on.
If they had a Toronto or Mississauga team that had a few players I liked on it, for sure I would attend a game with the kids.
