The teams need to be linked to NHL teams to have any success. No one cares about the Inferno but call them the Calgary Flames, put them in the same jerseys, give them a part of the marketing power, and play a few games as double headers before NHL exhibitions and all of a sudden it has legitimacy. You’d get young girls who are maybe casual fans really into the game and they would also gain instant support from die hard Flames fans both male and female.

AFLW is the model to follow. It went from playing one exhibition game per year to 16 teams with 50k crowds in 3 years.
Do women not like Men's sports? Are they not allowed? Is it contractually obligated?
