the attendance for women's hockey league is pretty easy to find... and its not good.
CWHL:
Boston 215
Toronto 179
Brampton 166
Alberta 107
Burlington 97
NWHL:
Minnesota 1,200
Buffalo 1,101
Riveters 721
Boston 706
Connecticut 423
Honest question: If the NHL subsidized a WNHL, would any one here be more likely to go to a game than they were previously? I mean the Flames backed the Inferno, and their attendance didn't spike at all.
As for goodwill, not sure how that's quantified? Considering the average attendance of all the teams combined would not even fill the lower bowl of the dome, how much good will would you be buying?
