2020 Worlds in Halifax/Truro - CANCELLED!

Re: 2020 Worlds in Halifax/Truro - CANCELLED!

"We're all pretty devastated. We've been so excited to have this opportunity to play on home soil in front of the crowd in Halifax that we knew was going to be so engaging and so loud," said Canadian defenceman Renata Fast, who pointed out that the cancellation comes after the Canadian Women's Hockey League folded and the Professional Women's Hockey Player Association walked out on the National Women's Hockey League, essentially suspending professional women's hockey in North America

It must really be sand in the shoes of Canadians that the NWHL still went on when the CWHL couldn't if the country's national media outlet is carrying water for the PWHPA. They may have chosen not to play in the league, but the league exists no matter how much everyone wants to deny it. Around 11 thousand people tuned in on Twitch to watch the 5 seed take on the 4 seed in the NWHL on Friday night. 1.2 thousand viewed the last PWHPA stream on Youtube.

The NWHL has an audience and it's the PWHPA players who are choosing not to play for them. How much bigger could that 11 thousand be if the national team players were playing?

Wow Jamie Lee Rattray back on the roster. I like that, but it’s surprising. Don’t think she was in Rivalry series rosters.

Fillier, Thompson, Bach would have made. WWC debuts.
