The Case For Pittsburgh Being The Next City For Professional Women's Hockey

You can not deny that professional women's hockey is taking off in North America whether it be from the CWHL or the NWHL leagues. More girls are wanting to play hockey and events like the NHL All-Star weekend which now have women participating in it will help draw more girls into the sport.

In 2017 the NWHL held it's All-Star Weekend in Pittsburgh which was a success and with Pittsburgh already a hockey crazed city with the success of its NHL team, the Penguins. Sports plays a huge part of the Pittsburgh culture. They also have a division one NCAA women's hockey team at Robert Morris University.

Pittsburgh would be a city that would be easy for other teams to travel to with Pittsburgh International Airport. If the NWHL or even the CWHL is looking for an American city to expand into, I hope we will see a professional women's team in Pittsburgh in the coming years.
