I live out in the sticks so I am asking this as a serious question, in the Calgary Minor Hockey System how many woman coaches are there? 5%? 10%? Intuitively I would think it is very low and I think it would be hard for an NHL player to buy into a female head coach, unless it is something that doesn't seem very odd and unusual and sideshowish about it. If he had 3 female head coaches while he was coming up I think there would be a much higher chance of success.
The more interesting question to me is do you think a woman head coach will ever win a Stanley Cup? I mean any owner could higher a woman tomorrow, but it doesn't mean they will be accepted or have any success. But to see a team completely buy in and win a cup that would be something. Personally I don't think I'll see if in my life (I am 39) but maybe my kids or grandkids will.
