I’ll admit that I’m a casual fan of women’s hockey. I know certain all-star names because of their incredible performance in the Olympics...Shannon Szabados, Amanda Kessel, Nicole Hensley. So when I found myself able to attend the NWHL All-Star game after the Preds-Blues contest last Sunday, I made sure to nab a front-row seat.
The NWHL All-Stars held a Skills Competition and on-ice clinic on Saturday at Ford Ice Center. The Skills Competition was sold out and nearly 500,000 people tuned into the Twitter livestream.
On Sunday, the crowd at Bridgestone Arena was excellent. Most of the lower bowl was full.
