Burlington’s Emma Greco played for two other professional hockey leagues before the Professional Women’s Hockey League (PWHL), but says she’s never seen the kind of interest the women’s game is experiencing now – and credits it largely to television.
“People I haven’t talked to in a while, they’ll message me and say, ‘I was watching you on TV,’ or they’ll post me in an Instagram story saying they were watching my game at a bar somewhere,” said Greco, a former Burlington Barracuda who, as a defender for Minnesota, has had nine shots and four penalty minutes in the PWHL this year.
“It’s crazy.”
