The Hockey News publishes first-ever women's issue

The Hockey News has published its first-ever women's issue. The editor of the magazine, Jason Kay, says in a release

“We have wanted to produce an issue about women in hockey for some time. Women’s participation in the sport has increased exponentially and stars like Meghan Agosta and Tessa Bonhomme are only a couple examples of women who are trailblazing their way into power positions within women’s hockey -- both on and off the ice.”

Among the women-focussed features in the issue are

• How the game is growing, particularly outside North America
• Challenges to Canadian Women's League faces
• Hayley Wickenheiser's 20-year domination
• Julie Chu's continued success in the U.S.

The magazine is on newsstands now, selling for $3.99.
