GeauxSioux Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 Ice hockey-NHL set to throw women's hockey Olympic lifelineThe NHL is prepared to throw women's hockey an Olympic lifeline and said on Thursday that it is in talks to help set up a North American professional league for the world's top female players. After years of dominance by Canada and the United States, International Olympic Committee (IOC) president Jacques Rogge warned at the Vancouver Olympics that women's hockey must be more competitive or risk removal from the Winter Games. An elite league is considered a key step in helping narrow the massive gap in talent that has left women's hockey fighting for Olympic survival. Would this help or hurt the recruiting of international players to UND? Overall this is a good move for women's hockey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
