Minor Hockey Moments

Time for a pro women's league?

Sportnet's Nick Kypreos checks in with an excellent column about women's hockey - from his sister's aspirations to his daughter's realizations.
Can there ever be a women's pro hockey league? It's one of the things Kypreos ponders.
If it ever were to work, it should be compact and in markets where it would be the star attraction.
I could see a league built around Southwestern Ontario, Michigan, Ohio and upper New York State.
Cities such as my hometown London - where the major junior London Knights draw 9,000 fans to home games - might be viable spots for franchises.
Maybe the girls can debate the merits during down time at the Four Nations Cup.
