pi2000 Posted November 30, 2015 Report Share Posted November 30, 2015 The NWHL announced yesterday that the league's first All-Star Weekend will be held in Buffalo on January 23rd-24th. Tickets go on sale on black Friday. http://www.si.com/nhl/2015/11/19/nwhl-inaugural-all-star-weeked-january-buffalo Interesting: The format of the NWHL All-Star game will include two 20 minute periods of four-on-four. The winning team will receive 20% of the ticket sales profits, to be split equally among its members. wait a sec. the NWHL has an all-star game? SO basically half of each team makes the all-star team? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJFIVEOH Posted December 12, 2015 Report Share Posted December 12, 2015 The NWHL handed out its first suspension when Molly Engstrom knocked out Buffalo's Meghan Duggan. They were both teammates on the 2010 Olympic team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eleven Posted December 12, 2015 Report Share Posted December 12, 2015 When are we going to admit it? The Beauts suck. Is there a McEichel in the draft next year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJFIVEOH Posted December 12, 2015 Report Share Posted December 12, 2015 (edited) That's a solid left hand there. She's a big girl too. 5'9" 180#. I wouldn't mess with her. When are we going to admit it? The Beauts suck. Is there a McEichel in the draft next year? Tank for Tanya? Lose for Liz?

Brawndo Posted November 18, 2016 Report Share Posted November 18, 2016 Dani Rylan the Commissioner of the NWHL announced today that the league would be cutting salaries by 50% because of lower ticket revenue and merchandise sales. Apparently the NWHLPA was not consulted about this and is reportedly deciding on a course of action. This does not bode well for the future of the league Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was hoping to be able to go to games once Josie and I live in Buffalo. Cheap entertainment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That Aud Smell Posted November 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2016 It was an ambitious venture. It may not take this time around. But I have a feeling it will find its place, eventually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueBlueGED Posted November 18, 2016 Report Share Posted November 18, 2016 It was an ambitious venture. It may not take this time around. But I have a feeling it will find its place, eventually. I think it's the sort of thing that will require the league/owners to eat losses for awhile while it estabilshes itself. Doesn't look like that's in the cards, unfortunately.

Brawndo Posted November 18, 2016 Report Share Posted November 18, 2016 David Pagnotta of the Fourth Period reported that if The NWHL and CWHL would be willing to merge, that The NHL might be interested in becoming a financial partner in that league Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darksabre Posted March 20, 2017 Report Share Posted March 20, 2017 Super cool for them to win it this year. Lots of big things coming along in the women's hockey world. Harrison Browne the first openly transgender person to win a pro title. Neat. RIT alum Kortney Kunichika gets a pro title too. I think she's the first Tiger to do something like that. Hoping to go to a lot of these games next year once we actually live in town. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwampD Posted March 20, 2017 Report Share Posted March 20, 2017 I can honestly say that I had completely forgotten that there was a pro women's ice hockey league until just now. That not s ringing endorsement of their marketing squad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JujuFish Posted March 20, 2017 Report Share Posted March 20, 2017 So the Beauts were 6-10-1 and didn't win consecutive games the entire season, and somehow won both playoff games, including getting revenge against the defending champions? That's rather implausible, and a pretty good underdog story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's rather implausible, and a pretty good underdog story. It unfortunately also underscores the complete meaninglessness of the regular season. Boston was 16-1, but lost a single-elimination tournament game in which every team in the league participates. But I'm still happy for our gals. What's A Twitter? How about a commercial or two on WGR? I listen to that almost every day. They can't afford it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PromoTheRobot Posted March 20, 2017 Report Share Posted March 20, 2017 The NWHL needs to be merged with other pro women's league. No reason for there to be two right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's one pro women's league (NWHL) and a league which doesn't pay its players (CWHL), which isn't professional. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
