If the NHL is funding the Development program then it makes sense that they don't have a similar program for girls.

The NHL pays for every draft pick from teams in developmental leagues. Well that's not entirely true. They don't pay CJHL teams. But the USNTDP had 9 alumni drafted in the 1st round of the NHL last year - that will be worth a good chunk of money from the NHL.
