The Canadian Women’s Hockey League is closing its doors as of May 1.
The league announced Sunday it would be discontinuing operations because of a business model that proved to be “economically unsustainable.”
I have no idea what this means for the future, but this is heartbreaking 
We will work hard to ensure there is still women’s hockey in Toronto. https://t.co/a7ZL7zmSuj
“Unfortunately, while the on-ice hockey is exceptional, the business model has proven to be economically unsustainable,” said the press release. “The league’s mandate was to grow the sport of women’s hockey, and to that extent it more than achieved its goal.”
This morning we were informed the #CWHL is folding. As players, we will do our best to find a solution so this isn’t our last season of hockey but it’s hard to remain optimistic. #NoLeague
The announcement comes one week after the Calgary Inferno won the 12th Clarkson Cup in front of a record-setting television audience of 175,000.
