Missed the first two games? Don't worry, we've got you covered with an introduction to the CWHL!*
League Overview*
Commissioner: Brenda Andress
Regular Season: Oct. 16, 2015 to February 21, 2015; games on Saturdays and Sundays
Ultimate Prize: Clarkson Cup
Roster Size: 25 players
No. of Teams: 5
Three Strengths of the League:
1) Established hockey league. For eight years, the CWHL has been the predominant women's hockey league throughout North America. They've established the ground rules for a league trying to cover as much expense as they can so that their players can continue to play the game after their college years are done. Slowly they've dug their niche in the sport and attracted big names on both sides of the border.
2) Partnership with three NHL franchises. The CWHL teams located in Calgary, Montreal and Toronto have established a relationship with their NHL counterparts. While the partnerships are still relatively new, the league has the opportunity to market themselves to three hockey mad markets for little to no cost. This endeavor was likely spearheaded by a member of the league's Board of Directors, Brian Burke.
3) Canadian talent. If you want to see the best of Canadian women's hockey, look no further than the CWHL. Names like Marie-Philip Pouline, Caroline Ouellette, Hayley Wickenheiser, Charline Labonte, Natalie Spooner, etc. have enough gold and silver medals to make so many grillz (grills?).
Three Weaknesses of the League:
1) No pay for players.*The league has been around for eight years and has not found a way to be profitable to a point where they can pay their players. The league is already discussing expansion into other markets, which is great to grow the game, but when does paying the players come before growth?
2) American presence.*Where the CWHL needs to capture hearts and minds is in the good old US of A. Having 'Canadian' in the league name is not going to help with courting sponsors in the states. The issue is compacted by the fact the team in Boston was gutted due to the defections of a majority of players to the NWHL. Now that there are two Boston women's hockey teams, one with loads of known names and one that's struggling to rebuild, the odds of the one American CWHL franchise surviving are significantly lower.
3) The NWHL. Plain and simple: if the NWHL's model of paying players is successful, the CWHL should be scared. The NWHL can offer the Canadian talent work visas to play in the US. There are already rumors of mergers, expansions, takeovers, etc., but it's way too early to consider any of those options on either side.*
