The National Women’s Hockey League is the top senior women’s league in the world. It has top notch players, dedicated volunteer coaches and administrators, and has its very own, newly minted version of the Stanley Cup- the Clarkson Cup.

But like many women’s sports leagues, the NWHL can’t seem to snag corporate sponsorships; the players aren’t paid; and the league has no fan base, financial stability; media attention or big broadcast deals. It hasn’t come close to getting verbal, much less financial support, from the NHL.

Should this stop you from betting on women’s hockey? On the contrary. When a sport or league is starting from the bottom up, slowly gaining momentum, that is the best time to extend your betting fix. Consistently winning and losing teams are easy to identify thus making sure your betting dollar is getting it’s best return. Just think the WNBA. It’s slowly gaining momentum and a loyal fan base and is now one of the best places to bet your basketball dollar. Women’s hockey isn’t far behind.
