Hey Julie are you going to pony up money so woman can have all of these benefits? Get real.
Woman's hockey does not attract sponsorships, television audiences, fans and in game attendance is very poor. Until people are interes ed in watching woman's hockey, then its the status quo. It's not sustainable to pay them benefits similar to the men.
A couple of games every 4 years at the Olympics means nothing. I mean, I watch rhythmic gymnastics at the Olympics if I think Canada has a chance of winning. Get off the gender politics for once and get into reality. The men's leagues will continue to offer some support to save face, but that's about it.
