Excellent. Even small steps will move women's hockey forward. Remember when the Leafs worked in the Christie Pits in the summer (and Bobby Hull baled hay), to supplement their meagre winter hockey incomes? I enjoy watching  (and playing) women's hockey for the skill and (mostly) the lack of fighting. I like the NHL for skill, speed and power, and my kids' games for fun and relaxation. Like me, many or most Canadian hockey fans, thankfully, appreciate and  support all of these leagues, and the great game evolves continuously to accommodate and reward all kinds of tastes and skill levels.  You go, girls.
