The CWHL is set to cease operations at the beginning of May. Basically, this means that the CWHL is no more.

This is a devastating release for many fan, players, coaches, and league affiliates. Women’s hockey has always struggled to get much traction, but lately it had been getting increased exposure. Unfortunately, it wasn’t enough.

The most heartbreaking part of it so far may be this letter from an upset 8-year-old named Jordyn. Stacey, Jordyn’s mother, posted a picture of the letter which shows genuine hurt, as well as pleading for a solution.

I told my 8yr old daughter about the CWHL,who’s a huge fan,she was very upset, she went to her room for a bit and came down and handed me this letter. @natspooner5 @TorontoCWHL @SNCaroline @SamiJoSmall @TheCWHL pic.twitter.com/mzMN4UBxW4

It’s no joke, Jordyn is a huge CWHL fan. Stacey’s Twitter feed is full of pictures of her daughter cheering on the Toronto Furies. Her favourite player and role model is Natalie Spooner, who Tweeted this out after receiving the news.

Today the hockey league we played in and relied on to improve as players, folded. The support we felt throughout these years was tremendous & we would love to keep this momentum going. The future generations need to be able to see their role models on the ice. #noleague #cwhl

This morning we were informed the #CWHL is folding. As players, we will do our best to find a solution so this isn’t our last season of hockey but it’s hard to remain optimistic. #NoLeague https://t.co/Au2esIZlj2

Clarkson Cup game was awesome, but this was Jordyns favourite part, seeing her hero/idol,watching an all women broadcast on Sportsnet, besides hockey this is what she wants to do when she grows up @natspooner5 @SNCaroline @JenBotterill pic.twitter.com/enu11tzYaM
