I am really disappointed to hear about the CWHL, or for that matter, the NWHL.
I'm a man. Have I ever gone to their games? No. I can't even afford a junior game, let alone let alone let alone let alone an NHL one.
But I have to watch darts and card games and "wrestling" endlessly, when there are really great women playing hockey that, sure, you bet, I'd watch for a while.
Did I think women's hockey was great 20-30 years ago? No. Should they be allowed to play more physically? Yes. (Most of them are bigger and tougher than I am, so. . . . .)
This one lies straight at the door of Canada's sports cartel, Sportsnet and TSN. They are willing to show us any dreck--pasty pimply basement dwellers so ugly they have to wear shades and baseball caps playing poker, for example--but they can't show us top-flight women playing hi-tempo puck.
I am at a loss on this one. A good women's hockey game beats most of what Sportsnet and TSN have on 18 hours a day. For shame.
