TORONTO - The sudden demise of the Canadian Women’s Hockey League has left the future of women’s professional hockey in North America in disarray with many of the world’s best players without a club team to play for.
“It was overkill,” Ken Wong, a marketing professor at the Smith School of Business at Queen’s University in Kingston, Ontario, told Reuters. According to the league, a record 175,000 tuned in to watch its championship game last week in Toronto where a crowd of nearly 5,000 were on hand as Calgary beat Montreal for the Clarkson Cup.
The decision leaves the five-team National Women’s Hockey League, founded in 2015 and based exclusively in the United States, as the only professional hockey option for women in North America. Players, and even the commissioners, from both leagues have previously said a single women’s professional league in North America would be best for the sport.
