CWHL folds, says business model ‘economically unsustainable’

Former Governor-General Adrienne Clarkson, seen here on Nov. 28, 2018, is a long-time supporter of the CWHL, a not-for-profit league that features Olympians and world champions.Former Governor-General Adrienne Clarkson says she is stepping in to attempt to resurrect the Canadian Women’s Hockey League, which said on Sunday it would cease operations in a month.

Ms. Clarkson is a long-time supporter of the CWHL, a not-for-profit league that features Olympians and world champions. The CWHL owns and operates all six of its teams on a $3.7-million annual budget.“I knew they had financial difficulties,” Ms. Clarkson said. “The Cup is there, and it is to be contended for and it’s beautiful. I absolutely want to see it awarded to a women’s hockey team next year.

“I think that we’ve come to the conclusion that we can’t continue to operate under this model and advance the game,” said Ms. Hefford, herself a former CWHL player and Canadian Olympic medalist. The CWHL is home to 130 of the world’s top players, several of whom are headed to play at the world championships in Espoo, Finland, later this week. Over 12 seasons, the league has been the everyday playing grounds for many women honing their skills between Olympic Games. Without the chance to play regularly, there is a concern that the Canadian women would not be as well prepared for the Winter Olympics.

Sad. There was talent.

😰

Not much of a shock, here. It's unfortunate that they couldn't be successful, but not surprising.
