The Canadian National team, or at least the national program, has played Midget AAA and CIS teams in exhibition games, though to your point I do believe they did lose quite a few to both levels. People aren't talking about their local Bantam AAA teams because those are 14-15 kids playing after school. The NWHL is the only paying professional womens hockey league, so yeah people are talking about it. I don't think people should be talking about Bantam AAA, my point is that it's basically the same level (Midget AAA, whatever) so I don't get why people get so hyped for it. They're also taking hitting out of it so I wouldn't expect Midget AAA/CIS teams to do as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeypower Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 No, the midget teams were beating the womens team. And it's a paying professional league. The first of its kind in the sport. That's why people are talking about it, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted January 30, 2016 Author Share Posted January 30, 2016 And let's not pretend it's not coming into play, Hilary Knight is, as they say, totes adorbz. That's worth immeasurable goodwill. "But no, CCSLC poster the admiral, the whole point is that these women are to be taken seriously as athletes just like men, not treated as mere sex objects by an oppressive and mansplaining patriarchy!" Well, yes, and I truly think they are taken seriously, but sometimes we have to concern ourselves with the world as it is, not the world as it ought to be, and this is a world where no one is going to root for a bunch of well-off, attainably cute girls to fail -- except maybe TRoyConcepts, apparently. 3 Quote ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goalieboy82 Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 i hope the NWHL doesn't end up like the WNBA (with the league staying alive well past the point the plug should have been pulled). the WNBA (while i dont mind the idea of a women's basketball league) the only reason it is still around is that the NBA gives it money to stay around (if it was like the other women's basketball leagues in the past, the league would have gone under years ago). does the NHL give the NWHL money by the way.

The WNBA would not have survived 20 years without the NBA's subsidy, but it's worth noting that the league is doing better financially and has more independent ownership than ever. It would be interesting, though, to see how the ABL would have fared had the WNBA not stepped in to crush it after its first season. It probably still wouldn't be around today, though. I think a women's league starting in the 2010s has more of an opportunity to survive than one starting 15 or 20 years ago. There are now mistakes of the past to learn from, and more media outlets than ever to provide coverage. It'll never be more than a niche audience, but if that audience is devoted and willing to pay, that's all you need nowadays. If you're looking for an example, look at the National Women's Soccer League, which has risen from the ashes of the two failures before it, and is riding rising interest in both soccer in general and women's soccer to become (at least from the outside) far more stable and sustainable than either of its predecessors. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to image search Hilary Knight from the ESPN Body Issue, because jayyyyyyyyy-zus. 2 Quote On 1/25/2013 at 1:53 PM, 'Atom said: For all the bird de lis haters I think the bird de lis isnt supposed to be a pelican and a fleur de lis I think its just a fleur de lis with a pelicans head.

Sodboy13 Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Hey, here's a little something retro! The Coyotes have announced their arena management deal is being transferred from Comcast Spectacor to AEG, because apparently getting owned by the Kings 5 or 6 times a year just wasn't enough. 6 Quote On 1/25/2013 at 1:53 PM, 'Atom said: For all the bird de lis haters I think the bird de lis isnt supposed to be a pelican and a fleur de lis I think its just a fleur de lis with a pelicans head.
