Women's professional hockey - will it ever work?
Was an interesting discussion during the intermission of the Oilers game where they talked about the failure of the CWHL on the heels of the Inferno's championship. The women vowed not to play in a professional North American league until (and I'm summarizing) they were guaranteed stability and fair pay. My question is, is it really feasible to expect a professional league for women that can compete with even minor league or junior hockey? Can women attract a following that will guarantee the pay and stability they want, considering the competition?
