According to the 1991 book "Net Worth: Exploding the Myths of Pro Hockey", during the 1956-57 season, CBS broadcast ten games that were popular with viewers. The four American franchises at the time (the Boston Bruins, Chicago Black Hawks, Detroit Red Wings and New York Rangers) each received US$100,000. However, the players themselves, received absolutely no money from the television deal. One CBS employee said, "We got a call from a girl in Cincinnati who wanted to start a women's hockey league. We referred her to NHL president Clarence Campbell, who told her hockey was too rough for gals."
