Two thirds of all womesn programs averaged less than 500. And I can gaurantee the average ticket price is in the single digits. Womens College hockey is not as popular and in demand as some portray it to be. Get out of here with those facts! Women’s hockey is the second best show on earth!

Xcfire Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 couple of things, there been 7 new D1 women's hockey programs added since UND drop theirs this year they allowed checking along the boards your not allowed to do any north to south hits there are currently 2 professional Hockey Leagues for womens PHF and PWHF Darrly watts of wisconsin just signed the highest contract ever $300,000 Swedish women's league allows full on checking. Should UND bring back womens hocky No! for a couple of reasons The university is always doing budgets cuts if it was legal drop all women's sports, not one has attendance to break even. UND women's basketball games have less than 800 people and UND Softball no one ever. I believe majority of UND Fans and alumni don't care about Womens Hockey as you see on this board. Let the 7 new programs succeed and lets forgot about Womens sports in general. Football is the #1 money maker in college sports nothing else comes close.

Rebel_Sioux Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 On 3/9/2023 at 10:44 AM, Big Green said: I'll never understand the hate for Women's hockey. It didn't just start after the program was cut. I enjoyed watching the Women play. Like every sport it was not as fast as the Men's game, but you need to take it for what it is. No one goes to a high school game and complains that the game is slower with less skilled players. However i do agree that checking needs to be a part of the women's game as it is part of hockey. UND should have a women's hockey team. This forum is really weird. Certain members will bring it up solely to hate on it. Idalski killed the team by underperforming with an inflated budget (compared to other WCHA teams). Still, the WIH players have good reason to be mad. The school went through several rounds of cuts and specifically said WIH was protected. Then after Kennedy said cuts were done in his tenure, he opens cuts one more time and cuts WIH. Don't get me wrong, the other cut teams have reason to be mad too. Kennedy really mishandled the situation. Schafer really wasn't much better.

cberkas Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 This will get the bring back woman's hockey crowd started. The Red Wings owner is asking for the study so sure he'll fund the program. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cberkas Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 In things that never die, I wouldn't be surprised if NIL comes up in this case at some point. When you own two professional teams you can fund the program yourself and not ask for a feasibility study that says you'll need $60 million and lose $2 million a season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
