    Women have been playing organized hockey since the late 19th century when photographs showed women playing hockey in full skirts at Lord-Lady Stanley's Skating Festivals in the 1880s. In the early 20th century, women's university hockey teams formed at schools like Queen's University and McGill University. Women's professional hockey leagues also emerged in the 1930s, with the famous Preston Rivulettes drawing over 6,000 fans to their matches in 1935. The Rivulettes also aimed to include women's hockey in the Olympic Games in the late 1930s, but women's hockey was put on hold during World War 2 and the 1950s as the NHL grew in popularity through television in the postwar years.

    Women playing hockey is nothing new
    In this time, women's hockey has
    been reasonably well received by
    fans who often pay to see the
    favorite teams of women battle it
    out on the ice. In 1935, in Galt
    (Ontario) the famed Preston
    Rivulettes, drew more than 6,000
    fans to one of their matches.
    Women’s hockey wasn’t only entertaining item
    In the late 1930's, the Preston
    Rivulettes had also planned to hockey
    across Europe in an effort to include
    women's hockey in the Olympic
    Games.
    Women's hockey was mostly kept for
    war during the 1940s and 1950s.
    In terms of hockey after the war, the
    NHL came back stronger than ever
    and became televised as of 1952.
