The road to the nhl is to play AA hockey until high school, become an accountant and from there play college hockey to go to the AHL and from there to the NHL.

No, since the NHL is only meant for men they haven't yet let a woman into it and the only place i think you can get the experience is being a water <<girl>> for a team sport. However if your a girl that is looking into this i suggest that you fight for the right of woman and you never know you may become the first woman to take part in the NHL i really hope you make it though. Because, i play hockey and the goalie on my team has the dream of becoming a goalie in the NHL and even though it's for men that's not stopping her and I've also encouraged her to try too!
there are no women because its a men's league
Yes NHL 07 is a PS2 game

Only 1% of the kids who play hockey will ever play in the NHL.
