This is a great start, however there is no updated list of sources you are planning to use for this article. I am glad you noticed the imbalance of coverage on women's hockey compared to men's hockey, it would be most beneficial for you to expand upon this.

I agree I need to get more sources. As of right now, I have the two home pages for the websites for the two women's hockey leagues, but I would like to get something more. I would also like to get academic sources. The biggest problem with this (and I assume many others are having similar problems) is that academia frequently overlooks subcultures, especially subcultures for women, people of color, and LGBTQ people. I am doing my best to find what I can, but as far as information on the two leagues, there is nothing. Most of the academic sources about women's hockey are also science-based about injuries and actual gameplay instead of about the subculture and women's gendered participation in the sport. I just need to keep looking.

= Article Evaluation = The Ice Hockey article focuses mainly on men's ice hockey. There is one small section dedicated to women's ice hockey, but the information is sparse, focuses mainly on Canadian hockey rather than acknowledging all international hockey, and is outdated. There are only two images and neither depict the modern sport. The balance between information on men's hockey and information on women's hockey is not equitable.

I plan to edit this article and include information on ice hockey in the United States to provide an American perspective. In addition, I will be updating information to match data from 2018 or the most current available data. I will add images to show the modern game. I have already added one image of USA captain Meghan Duggan at the IIHF World Championship in 2017.

Women's Hockey Leagues
There are two North American based professional women's hockey leagues, named the Canadian Women's Hockey League (CWHL) and the National Women's Hockey League (NWHL) The CWHL is based in Canada while the NWHL is based in the United States.

The CWHL
The CWHL was founded in 2007 and originally consisted of seven teams. As of 2018, there are still seven teams, although the teams themselves have changed. Currently, the league consists of Les Canadiennes de Montreal, Toronto Furies, Calgary Inferno, Markham Thunder, Boston Blades, Kunlun Red Star, and Vanke Rays.

The NWHL
The NWHL was founded in 2015 and was the first North American women's league to pay its players. The league consists of four teams, which have remained constant for the league's existence. These teams are the Metropolitan Riveters, Buffalo Beauts, Connecticut Whale, and Boston Pride.
