Unsatisfied with their options, over 200 women say they will not play in any North American hockey league until they get the league they want.

When the six-team CWHL announced March 24 it would fold, the five-team NWHL announced plans to expand to both Montreal and Toronto. A week after Jenner's Calgary Inferno hoisted the Clarkson Cup, the CWHL announced it was shutting down after 12 years because it was "economically unsustainable." "Having no health insurance and making as low as two thousand dollars a season means players can't adequately train and prepare to play at the highest level."
"We don't want the next generation to have to be pioneers anymore. I want them to have a sustainable viable league that they can aspire to be a part of."
