As a Canadian you can see it with us as well. Look at how well our Canadian women have done relative to our men. It’s not like we’re short on men’s players either, soccer is super popular here. You can look to the winter Olympics as well and how the men’s tournament goes for hockey relative to the women. There are several countries who really have a chance to win for the men but for the women it’s Canada and the US. That’s it. Since the introduction of women’s ice hockey in 98 Canada and the US have won gold and silver every time except once when Sweden won silver in 06. Everyone else is playing for bronze on the women’s side.
