Montreal has always been the "Mecca of the Hockey playing cities in North America and...in Europe it would have to be CSKA Moscow

It’s hockey and Montreal is the Mecca. P

yep

Montreal would draw better for Junior hockey if it was really a hockey town. It’s a Habs town.

Hopefully they can build and sustain interest based on the initial momentum.

I’ve been to a few games this year and it’s fun.

 

[Ol' Jase]

That is really unbelievably cool.

I thought that the huge increase in popularity with womens individual sports (Katie Ledecky, Shacarri Richardson, Serena Williamson, Simone Biles, etc - track and field honestly is relatively equal in popularity between men and women in the modern post-Bolt era) might have stayed isolated to individual sports, but it seems that as more huge stars start to emerge in team sports, they're starting to grow a lot as well.

Honestly, women are competitive as f*** and I've been seeing a lot more hatred and venom in watching womens sports over the past couple years, it's been great.

Yup. There’s that young basketball player (Clark?) who’s caught the interest of fans now too. I’m guess the women’s hockey is way more affordable than the NHL. Get to go to a good game and it doesn’t cost an arm and a leg.

All the PWHL needs are actual team names. I think streaming the games has done a lot of good for the league, I've tuned in a few times just out of curiosity and have enjoyed the product

Caught a little bit of the game, crowd was really into it.
Didnt catch it there was anything special about the game though, was it just a regular season game?

 

[DingDongCharlie]

Now this is great to see. What a special moment for all those players.

 

[Beau Knows]

Pretty cool to see

 

[VanillaCoke]

Okay that's amazing

 

[SheldonJPlankton]

Montreal is a character city.
Montreal hockey fans are character people.

 

[MetalheadPenguinsFan]

Cool

 

[Bounces R Way]

That's awesome. Glad the PWHL is finding some early success.

Expansion into other markets has to be on the agenda right! 1 Canadian 1 American or 2 Canadian and 2 American...

 

[Heldig]

Wonder what the ticket price was?

 

[tarheelhockey]

Man, the look on her face. What a cool moment.

 

[JianYang]

Man, the look on her face. What a cool moment.

It's gotta be such an emotional moment. She probably dreamt about playing for the Habs as a little kid. Now here she is in the latter part of her career infront of a packed bell center getting the type of ovation that was reserved only for the most beloved Habs players.

There's gotta be a sense of pride and accomplishment in that moment too. She's been working hard at promoting this league.

 

[GirardSpinorama]

I would definitely go if they come to town. Maybe not regularly but just to see if its entertaining hockey.

 

[Channelcat]

Wonder what the ticket price was?

Cheap enough that people didn't mind buying tickets and not attending.

I really hope the sports media integrates the PWHL into them better next season.

The Score is by far the most popular sports app in Canada. Doesn't show scores, schedules, or stats in the PWHL.

Little things like this to a long way to making it easier to follow.
