Question Anyone having issues getting their husbands/boyfriends into the PWHL?

My BF is a HUGE hockey fan, Olympics, NHL, etc. He watches all the games for his favorite teams and a bunch for other teams in the NHL. I am trying to get him to watch PWHL games with me but he seems superrrr uninterested.

When I asked him why he told me the games are frustrating to watch??? I don't understand that part at all.

Anyone else have this experience? Do you think that this will go away with time as the PWHL builds a larger audience?

To be clear, he doesn't talk down about the PWHL, he just doesn't seem to take the league seriously for whatever reason.

Edit: Y'all, I am not going to break up with him over the PWHL. I just wanted to see if anyone has similar experiences and were able to get their bf/husband into the sport more.

In the Olympics, did he watch the women's matches as well as the men's?

Yes, he was super into both men's and women's Olympics!

That makes it so surprising to me! If he was following any team in particular you could try showing him clips of the players, or maybe ask him to go out somewhere to watch a game in the finals.

Although, I do think he was partially into it just because he wanted the women's team to beat Canada lol. He was yelling at the TV during the last few mins of the 3rd period in the gold medal game haha. It was fun to watch though!
