A large majority — if not all — of the players taking part in the NHL All-Star three-on-three game will be PWHPA (Professional Women’s Hockey Players’ Association) members.
This will either: (a) Send the message to the NWHL that the NHL expects them to begin negotiating in good faith with the PWPHA & get pro women's hockey back on track in North America; or (b) Seal the coffin on women's pro hockey in the U.S. & Canada.

I cant describe the antipathy I feel about having women invade the all star weekend.

Hell, it might get me to watch the first all star game in many years.
