Opinion: Is The Hockey Hall Of Fame Having A Laugh (At The Expense Of Women's Hockey)?

I grew up in New Mexico, not a lot of hockey here back then. So i never really got into it. But I always wanted to. My dad would talk about playing hockey on the pond across the street from where he grew up in Pennsylvania.

Every time i would try and watch, and get into men's hockey i found it difficult. Between picking a team, understanding what was happening, and just finding a game to watch.

The PWHL had made hockey approachable. I hope it stays this way,

I don’t know anything about anything but I tried my best to get in to the Kraken when they came to Seattle, and just couldn’t, and it’s been so easy to be a Torrent fan because it’s just more fun

The tipping point of my visit, though, came when I had to make a pit stop in the bathroom. As I walked into the women’s restroom, a sign caught my eye; it read: Hockey invented by men, perfected by women. It felt like a recognition of what women brought to the game, but one that the Hall didn’t wish to make in an exhibition for all to see. Is there a similar sign in the men’s room? I don’t know; I couldn’t very well go in there, but to see that in the women’s restroom made me wonder if the Hall was, for lack of a better expression, taking the piss.
