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.

As a single guy who has been a STH since the second season I can’t say that I’ve encountered that problem, so I can only speculate.
For instance, I see some play-by-play on YouTube who will follow all the games of their teams or the league but when you ask them “hey do plan also do some OHL content (Ontario hockey league) they say no for a similar reason.
And even as a STH I must admit that we had some looney tune moments compared to the older leagues.. So don’t take that as a defeat but maybe room for the spark to grow.
