Where would a pro Women's team rank in this list in terms of quality? That is up for debate.
In a metro area of 1.3MM people, that is a lot of hockey entertainment available to us. That is not up for debate.
Don't forget the CFL is the 2nd best football league in the world, and the CanPL soccer is picking up a lot of steam.

Every one of those teams, aside from the two CIS (now called "U-Sports") women's teams, would beat a women's professional team. The women often play exhibition games against Midget AAA teams in pre-tourney warmup, and generally lose.
