Today is October 4, and not a single ticket is yet available for purchase for the 2024-25 season... What is going on with this league and it's media blackout?
I'm starting to feel like season 2 may not actually happen.
Too many prides & reputations at stake for that to happen (or not happen). Some of that pride was inflated by the League's propensity to "do it our way" which yielded something from a mildly to a wildly successful FIRST season (depending on whom you ask). They are relying on the continuing patience - and to varying degrees, naivete - of fan & sponsor bases that have been waiting for a women's pro hockey league that ices "the best of the best" in the game.
Despite all that (and to some degree because of it), the PWHL business execution is at this point a lot closer equivalent to the quality of a low-level North American men's pro league than it is to the NHL or 2nd tier pro organizations. Fans should adjust their expectations accordingly, while supporting businesses should know what's best for their individual bottom lines.
