WOMEN’S PROFESSIONAL HOCKEY aims for Fall 2008 RE-LAUNCH
The Former NWHL Owners retain Marketing firm to conduct Feasibility Study
A group of owners in the NWHL during the 2006-2007 season remain committed to the future of Women’s Professional Hockey in North America. As such they have retained Cosmos Sports to conduct a feasibility study into Women's Professional Hockey.
Acting Chairman of the former Eastern Division, Domenic Serafino, who has been entrusted with spearheading the league restructuring, maintains that: “We are very optimistic, that the future of Women’s hockey is bright. When we suspended operations for the current season, while many were skeptical, it was the only way to ensure successful Women’s hockey for many years to come. The first step is to bring the professional expertise of Cosmos Sports to the table to help lead and re-focus our efforts”.
With the objective of a Women’s Hockey League, with a much stronger business model, more solid franchises, and strong ownership in all markets, the owners have retained sports marketing professionals Cosmos Sports to conduct a feasibility report.
The ownership group sees in Cosmos Sports its significant experience in team and league management. Cosmos Sports has trained over 200 teams in sales, marketing and business operations, and currently consults for the Central Hockey League and Canadian Soccer League, among others.
The league showcases the best Women’s hockey players in the world. There is a strong opportunity to reach out to fans based on the passion and the quality of product. The challenge will be the league ability in putting the business first, and providing an environment for fans, sponsors and media to embrace Women’s hockey. Cosmos Sports looks forward to being a part of the re-branding and growth of Women’s pro hockey”.
The feasibility report is expected to be unveiled in September and will focus on target markets, branding strategies, league structure and strategy, team marketing efforts, and new franchises. As well, the search for a future league Commissioner is in its early stages.
