It will soon be 50 years of a men's World Junior tournament, while the IIHF continues to exclude women.

Fabulous idea - long overdue.

The IIHF makes the NHL seem “forward thinking”

Most of the time girls are more enjoyable games to watch.

Is there a market for it? That’s got to be the only holdback at the moment. Someone will have to foot the bill for a while and cover the losses.

I think if they held it in the usa and canada to get it off the ground it would work financially.

I didn’t realize there was a U18 women’s tournament. No U20 women’s is a travesty.

brucesmith.bsky.social•75 days ago

Yeah under 18 isn't drawing a lot of ppl even on the men's side. Under 20 is a much better platform.

Maybe start off as a 4 nations type tournament? Get TSN on board. Try and break even for a bit and get some momentum. 100% agree it’s time and would have a huge boost to the women’s game.

brucesmith.bsky.social•75 days ago

Yeah that could work. When to hold it would be the next question.

Maybe when we have more than two nations who take women's hockey seriously.
