(Improperly formatted comment from February 2008)

Someone needs to add the MLL-Major League Lacrosse to this. It, too, is a professional league. I would do it but don't know how.70.131.137.226 (talk) 19:32, 26 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Do Women's Teams Exist?

This article gives the impression that there are no Women's Pro Sports teams in the US or CAN. Anyone care to correct the gender bias in this article? Deebki 12:26, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

Arena Football League

Since the league has suspended itself indefinitely, is it prudent to keep the teams there? From what I understand the league is dead aside from the "league" avoiding Chapter 7 due to some creditor issues. Shootmaster 44 (talk) 02:53, 25 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Minor Leagues

They are pro leagues, too! I'm gonna add American Hockey League teams. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.27.190.152 (talk) 00:32, 8 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Broke the page by accident

I accidentally broke the NHL table when adding Las Vegas to the list. Help! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Canucklehead Alberta (talk • contribs) 20:50, 22 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Western Hockey League

How come the WHL is not listed? 2601:1C1:8400:D200:B8E7:448A:AF74:1C46 (talk) 02:20, 9 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Maps

@Frontsfan2005: I'll voice my opinion that the addition of maps here may be a bit overkill for a list article. Are they absolutely necessary here, in your honest opinion? — AFC Vixen 🦊 09:35, 1 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

What defines a professional league?

I've noticed that this page includes a bunch of weird leagues. I'm wondering what qualifies a league to be considered professional so it's listed on this page. Jammer2001 (talk) 17:15, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
