[#]PWHL
I'm saying this all because the thing is, the product on the ice last year was great. Watching the local NHL club sink out of a post-season before Christmas meant I invested a lot more time watching the inaugural PWHL season.
They made smart decisions -- streaming all the games online. The broadcasts were excellent. They put the right people in the right places there to make the fan experience good. Most hockey fans get the game but most didn't know the odd rule differences the league ran with (e.g: the jailbreaker goal).
And then, to top it all off the hockey was exactly the inverse of what people across North America expected it to be. They let adults bodycheck one another. It was actual hockey, unlike the onerous IIHF rules women typically play by when fans had seen them before.
It was a fantastic product on-ice. The games were hype, the atmosphere in the buildings I saw on-screen was absolutely crazy. I had to watch online because the team basically sold out every game.
Overall, they made me a fan. A bad name isn't ultimately going to turn me off the team or anything, but it would have been nice if they knocked them out of the park because for some fans I'm sure that will make a difference, as sad as that is to say.
