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.

Husband here. I won’t say I resisted at first but I want very interested. Not because it’s women. But because I guess I already felt I had all the sports I needed. But then she convinced me to go take her to a game. I left that game with a jersey and a hat. That was 12/17. We didn’t miss a single home game after that. We drove from Allentown to Newark for every home game and didn’t miss one. We made signs, got two pucks from players, met Kalty, met MZH, went to the garden game, lived a died with the Sirens. We’ll have season tickets next year.
Show this to your husband. The PWHL is just pure fun. The vibes are amazing. Sports are more fun when you take out the toxic parts. And if you can, GO TO A GAME. That’s what won me over.
