Would you support a Calgary PWHL team?

[JPeeper]

So as someone who admittingly rarely watches women sports I 100% want CSEC to get an expansion team for the PWHL. I am actually quite annoyed Calgary isn't one of the founding teams in the league. If Calgary got a PWHL team and aired the games on TV I'd follow them as close as I do the Flames.

Do you think Calgary should get a PWHL team, do you think we eventually will?

I hope so. I definitely would watch and support the team. Not sure if Calgarys the biggest market though. They’ll likely expand to Vancouver and other American cities first.

Also with there already being the Flames, Wranglers and Hitmen all indirect competition for people money, it might struggle to see people at the games.

2/3 already struggle to put butts in seats, and even the flames have had some trying times recently. I wish the PWHL all the best, but pro-hockey has seen better days in this city

Probably not to be honest, just don't have much interest and I devote more than enough of my time to sports already. We had a women's team for a while and they weren't popular even when they were among the better teams IIRC.

I'm not local, so I don't know how popular they were, but they (the Inferno) did have a dope ass logo

Calgary needs to sort out the situation around their existing hockey teams before they go and add another one. Personally wouldn't even consider a PWHL team until the new arena opens

 

[joescores]

I wish them well but no, I would not because to me and many others, this sport (and many other collective sports like basketball, soccer, football) is not attractive when women play it.

Same boat. Between kid and illness and other busy things to address, I barely have consistency following the Flames, let alone another sport.

Things might improve if they make it easier to follow PWHL, but if it's like how things were before, interest in the PWHL is probably going to be as popular as interest in the Calgary Hitmen from Flames fans... which isn't very popular.
