The 3 hours is a key imo. Even watching Flames games at home I'm usually working on something else. 3 hours is just way too long for women's hockey. An hour max including intermissions.
10 minute periods, 5 minute intermission, done in 45 minutes. If they get some TV deal, add in few minutes of commercials and and you're in and out of there in under an hour. Play 4 on 4 or even 3 on 3. Make it exciting.
But besides all that you basically need the NHL to say we will lose money to give them an opportunity.
4 Team league. You'd better off putting it in North Central USA. Where you don't have much other competition besides NCAA. All close to each other.
North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Iowa. All bus rides would be 8 hours or less depending on which city you put the team in.
Start in January, have a 3 month long season, 16 games. No playoffs. See how it goes.
