By Barry Campbell -
Huge news in the hockey world today as the National Women's Hockey League was introduced and will begin for the 2015-2016 season. The league will start with 4 teams and will compensate its players. There will be franchises in Boston, Buffalo, New York and Connecticut. Because it will pay its players, the NWHL will have different rules than the CWHL. Please give the articles a read. This is a great step forward for the game, and one would think it would find its way to Minnesota quickly if successful, as this market is ideal for professional Women's Hockey.
We start today's Walk with a song from my favorite band that no one's heard of, Particle. These guys absolutely rip.
