First off, the distinction between a "professional" sports league and an "amateur" sports league is one that pays its players. The CWHL does not pay its players, and thus is not a professional hockey league. Moreover, it doesn't claim to be one -- the most even its website will admit is that it's a "professionally-run" league. We don't, of course, declare as fact something an organization's website claims. Secondly, this article's been bedeviled by editors seeking to add trivia, such as the first European to lodge an assist or that the Beauts' rink is affiliated with the Sabres' home rink. These are trivial minutiae not generally found in sports league articles, and the degree to which Dunkin Donuts cuts deals with local rinks or has corporate logos on goalposts is equally trivial -- certainly we don't see references in team or season articles describing which corporations purchased the rights to have their logos on the ice in any given year. Finally, regarding the claim that the Women's Winter Classic is the first women's game "sanctioned" by the NHL, the reference doesn't actually claim that. The reference states: "As part of the 2016 Bridgestone NHL Winter Classic festivities, the National Hockey League (NHL) will host the first-ever Outdoor Women's Classic presented by Scotiabank, an abbreviated exhibition game on the outdoor rink at Gillette Stadium." Sanctioning isn't mentioned, and it's not even accurate to claim that this is the first women's game "hosted" by the NHL, given that individual teams have hosted women's college games -- heck, the Bruins did so as part of the previous Winter Classic held in Boston, where a regular season doubleheader featuring both the men's and women's teams of Northeastern University and UNH was played. (In fact, I think I'll remove the statement altogether.)   Ravenswing   09:50, 2 January 2016 (UTC)

Edit
I would just like to add a link for the PWHPA. Kelly beasley15 (talk) 05:33, 4 October 2019 (UTC)
 * No reason why not; it's pertinent info.   Ravenswing   08:19, 4 October 2019 (UTC)
 * I made it a reference instead of an external link as it is pertinent info, but hyperlinking is typically not used as far as I can tell per WP:ELNO #19. If the organization proves notable, then a wikilink would obviously be appropriate. Yosemiter (talk) 12:52, 4 October 2019 (UTC)

United Women's Hockey League
There's no article on the United Women's Hockey League? How did that get overlooked?Dogru144 (talk) 17:01, 5 October 2022 (UTC)


 * Quite possibly because no one's ever heard of it, including the media: I could find exactly one article on Google News search that was more than a namedrop: . It appears to be an amateur loop just a cut above a beer league, and the article citing that the age range is between mid-20s and early 60s doesn't contradict that.  In any event, this talk page is for the PHF, not for discussion of women's hockey generally.   Ravenswing      18:46, 5 October 2022 (UTC)
