Nothing against Females, but some of these comments are quite ridiculous! Hockey selling out more, if women were in the game?! Hockey is a very aggressive, fast-paced & fierce sport! Women are NOT Excluded from The NHL & they also have spectate leagues, in EVERY Sport, for Women! The Reason being, is Cleary because Women are Not as strong n' fierce n' aggressive as men! I am Not being sexist & I am not speaking of & about ALL Women.. but, it is a known fact, that a majority of men are stronger than women! The NHL, is The BEST of The Best, and it would be silly to dumb it down, by purposely letting more females in! If You're Good Enough, You Will be In & Make The NHL.. Regardless of Race/Gender/Religion.. Whatever the case! Whoever You are & whatever You are, You are Welcomed in The NHL IF You are Good enough! The Reason, they ALSO have seperate Leagues, is because they place strength, talent, and aggression or what have You, in the category that You fall into, no matter who You are! You're Good enough, You'll make it!! All there is too it!
