Fair enough. If all they want is more (better?) commitment from the NWHL/CWHL/Whatever WHL, that's a different story. There should be a niche there, and if you properly target it at young kids (and their parents) and have your games on weekend afternoons, you might be able to build some momentum. I notices the Roughnecks gave away tickets at my son's school, and he almost persuaded me to go.
But the timing was bad. If the CWHL did something similar, my son would have certainly dragged us out to a game, and then, who knows, maybe we like it and are willing to spend a few bucks...
