The FANS need to put an end to this BS. Obviously, the woke league and the woke owners won't. So the fans need to step up and say, we're not supporting your lunacy. If you need a non-essential thing like hockey so badly you'll put up with this gender bender crapola, you need to spend some time in self reflection.
One of the reasons I quit following sports was because I realized they didn't have to depend on ticket sales or viewership numbers anymore.
Every single American sports league--the NHL, NBA, NFL, MLB, etc.--gets most of its revenue from overinflated television contracts, and sponsorship deals such as stadium naming rights and ads on jerseys and the playing surface.
They still turned a profit when they restarted play with zero fans during the 2020 lockdowns.

Maybe true..but those advertisers will dry up fast when the fans stop watching (and buying) their products). That's what needs to happen.
Seriously..what is the actual % of "trans" hockey fans that these idiots need to bend over backwards for? I don't get it. No more than .05%.
Go woke, go broke.
0.03%
You were off by 40% :)
Yes. But it'll be a while before the currently-signed contracts expire.
