To say it is such good hockey (which you didn't but so many casual hockey fans do) is completely false. The Canada/ USA games, which are pretty good hockey, are NOT the same as a 6 team league (which is competing for players with another league) when it comes to competition level, skill and marketability.

Now in a less politically correct society they could market the attractive ladies, and play full contact hockey, add pyro, add gimmicks and over the top announcers. Like the WWE does with their females. Talk is the ladies triple threat match will be headlining Wrestlemania.

For those wanting to inspire young hockey players, the Women's World Championships are starting soon and TSN will be broadcasting the games, set you PVR's.

Womans pro hockey just isn't the same entertainment value. Team Canadas woman team usually play a game against a AAA midget team and have a tough time winning. It's not great hockey to watch. Its O.K to admit this.
