- women have been structurally discouraged from pursuing coaching positions for the majority of the existence of organized sport (and in many ways still are). this causes there to not be as many qualified women for those positions

- the pwhl has shown that they pay people jack shit! and as @grantmentis has pointed out, there's a real lack of transparency about how coaching/staff contracts work. I would assume based on what we know that the contracts are year to year. that's not a lot of job stability, especially if you're asking someone to up and move to wherever the team is- it's not like coaching can be done remotely!

these are just like. the two most obvious reasons I can think of off the top of my head, I'm sure there's more other people can add on.

I do think the league should take this opportunity to invest in the training infrastructure to grow the potential pool of coaches who are women! they have the opportunity to make real inroads for structural change here- and I honestly think partnering with the nhl might be helpful, because having a system where men work for the men's league and women work for the women's league is actually. not as progressive as people think it is.

as we go into expansion i want all the new teams to look at this picture
