So let's say all Canadian NHL cities have a women's team, we can have a tour schedule of like Vancouver on Week 1, Calgary on Week 2, Toronto on Week 3, and so on.
That could keep the interest (and attention span, and spending) of fans of the cities, for example each year there will only be 1 or 2 weekends of women's hockey in your city. People may treat this as a one-time annual event, rather than follow a team for 20/30 home games a year.

I brought up this idea in a similar thread several months ago, My other suggestion was to go to a 3 on 3 format which would offer something different then trying to compete with mens hockey.
