Re: NHL Worst ever ratings on NBC
[ QUOTE ]
I agree with one above poster... the ONLY way the NHL is going to develop a fan base in non-traditional markets is buying funding NHL-branded ice rinks, youth leagues, street-hockey tournaments, and using them as a sort of loss-leader or non-profit business to give children and parents affordable exposure to the game. Out of the big 4 sports, hockey is probably 10 times as expensive.

Disagree with all of you making this point. Soccer is played by tons of kids and cheap to get into. Though it is not fairing well on TV. Here in Canada more kids play soccer than hockey we cant sell soccer here either. Its just a fcat Americans do not care for soccer or hockey. Accept it take advantage of the markets that do and get yur ass in Vegas while its cheap.
