Re: Attendance & Women's Hockey
Good point about watching and learning. However, the JWHL, PWHL and Tier 1 Elite leagues are a QUANTUM leap up from adult rec players. Hell, Mass high school hockey, which is pretty weak outside of a handful of teams, is better than adult rec.
Division One hockey involves a great deal of skill and knowledge and what separates it from the men's game, aside from checking, is speed and strength. In fact, it is what separates it from the top DIII teams. The comparison with the Minny HS team is a good one. The women were, overall, smarter and better skilled. The boys were generally faster and shot harder. As we all know, speed kills. The faster teams usually win.
