    I’ve watched a few PWHL games, if we had a team in town I’d be there so fast. They’re very exciting !

  2. This is a women’s sport that is very close to the men’s side. I love US v Canada at the Olympics!

  3. evil_iceburgh

    Sure. If there were regular games here my daughters would probably want to go. Sounds like fun.

    Will it need subsidized like the WNBA? If so, pass.

    Since this got downvotes, I want people to explain why you think it’d be ok for the NHL to subsidize it?

    I’ll go to the games, especially if they’re good deals.

  6. omggggg i’d support the team all the way from MTL. The more the better :,,))

    I hope people show up to support them if we do get a team. New leagues run pretty tight margins going to have to be some decent showings in the stands pretty quickly. To my understanding the league isn’t subsidized by the NHL so I’m thinking it’s a boom or bust situation. Seems like the other markets are above water through so that’s a good sign.

    The PWHL is amazing. I hope they bring a team here and I would support them so quick. I really hope the NHL looks at making a true women’s league and gives them support. I think the WNHL would be amazing with NHL support. If that doesn’t happen, I hope the PWHL continues to prosper and hope Pittsburgh gets a team very soon.

    Will they have annoying male play by play announcers?

    We got a team here in Ottawa and have been watching their games – it is entertaining for sure

    I would assume Pittsburgh and Philadelphia would both get teams in the next expansion….OR they will call the team Pennsylvania and split time between both cities.

    I’ve watched some PWHL (YT, not on ESPN +, TTBOMK). Good stuff. Two things: One, the league is a LOT more physical than one might expect. Two, after this season, can we PLEASE relegate those gawd-awful jerseys to the “Never again, not even for retro-retro-throwback night”?
