As the Beijing Games approach, THE ATHLETIC goes in-depth on "what's next for women's hockey." If Olympic viewership is "any indication, there’s an appetite for women’s hockey." The sport’s popularity "peaks every four years -- almost eight million people tuned into the 2018 Olympic final between Canada and the U.S. on CBC and NBC -- but it wavers in between." So what can professional women’s hockey do to "capitalize on a year in which the sport features prominently on the world stage?" A league "with the same players from Canada and the U.S. and others from different countries to replicate the Olympic intensity ... makes sense." But creating it "isn’t that simple."
Also:
- Eddie George, other former All-Pros "making impact at HBCUs."
- Stephen, Ayesha Curry look to serve Oakland community with a "transformed bus."
