Actually, women have played. A goalie played the 1st period of an exhibition game for Tampa Bay, and Wickenheiser practised with the Wings..... also, she played in the European league for one season. Unfortunatly the idea of women playing in the NHL is hard for many to get by, and switching from the womens league to a mens league can be difficult as the women are not trained to be as aggressive. However, the isn't a WHL and probably won't be for quite some time as the only cities that would be interested would be major cities in Canada, even then it is questionable
