    The Devils getting behind the Riveters is great news. Look for other NHL teams to follow suit which would be huge.

      The only reason the WNBA survives at all is because it is subsidized by the NBA.

      Would be nice if the NHL and/or its teams had a similar arrangement with a women's league.

        I think the ideal scenario is for the NWHL and CWHL to join forces and for the NHL to back up that new/merged women's pro league.

                        Again, not in Minnesota. I have more Gopher women's hockey season ticket holders who are also passionate Lynx fans just in my Facebook feed than I have fingers.

                          Personally, I think all women's hockey fans should learn more about the WNBA and it's relationship with and support from the NBA because support from the NHL is the best answer for the immediate and long-term success of legitimate pro hockey for women here and in Canada.

                            honestly...both leagues are a joke...especially the women's pro hockey league....unless and until WOMEN support their own....they will fail. Take it to the bank

                              but do you need all of your toes in addition to your fingers?
                              The Lynx have one 4 championships and two more runner ups, yet this year only one game in the finals was televised on broadcast TV.

                              I wouldn't get too excited about the NHL providing marketing to the WNHL, they haven't exactly been overly successful marketing the NHL.
