No it's not.
I would bet that there are almost no amateur sports federations where the teams/athletes are making money/turning a profit for the federation. Sure men's hockey might, but that's not really relevant.

If the mandate of the federation is to grow the game and to produce top level talent then turning a profit off of a team shouldn't be a deciding factor on how much financial support they give the respective teams.

I have no idea what kind of compensation the men's team gets (if any), but that should be the baseline, not how profitable the team is.
