I am a HUGE Flyers fan. Not the NFL anymore. (I think we all know why.) Canada doesn't have the financial pull that the US does in major sports. Most of the owners of the teams are not American. Canadians are far more passionate for hockey than most Americans but unfortunately most of the major sports in the world are here because of the almighty dollar. I agree with your point whole heartedly.
Most of the major sports in the world? (American) Football, Baseball and Hockey are not counted as major sports, only thing americans have in major sports is basketball. You've might have meant major sports in N. America though.
How is America a poor hockey market? Don't you mean Canada is a poor hockey market? There are only 5 tams left in the NHL that are from Canada. More then half of the NHL players are from Canada. What would you know anyway? You're 14. You probably have never been to the US. Canada is a poor market. That is why the teams relocated to the US. Do your research before you try and shit on 305 million people. Sounds pretty ignorant to me.
nd how many of the 305 million watch hockey? hockey is big in the Northeast and northern midwest of america no where else...the nhl should not have teams in phoenix, florida, atlanta or la... they should be in canada where they will actually flourish... and im an american saying this
I forgot about that shitty team and city, Winnipeg. Did have good attendance but the teams are doing better now then they ever were. Don't be mad because you all but lost your sport to American capitalism.
Canada is a poor hockey market because NHL teams have to survive on corporate investments rather than television coverage. But it'd be dumb of me to say, "if hockey were as popular as football, nobody would put a team in the south", 'cause uh, then it'd be popular in the south.
I'm not gonna say that all of the US is a bad hockey market, but you can't agree that Arizona, Florida, California, or Texas really give a shit about hockey.
No, FLyerfan, I CAN agree that those states really give a shit. Not sure what the heck you're trying to say, but comparing Florida to Cali is retarded. As a Sharks fan, our arena is sold out every night, and has been as long as I can remember. Can't say that about many other teams.
You can say that about most teams in the northern part of the States. Just not teams that i mentioned earlier. Maybe San Jose is selling out now, but LA and Anaheim aren't even close. If San Jose was losing they would be in the same situation.
@FlyerFan9 You should go to a Phoenix game. There was more hawks fans, including myself than Coyotes fans. 10,000 people at most. Nice ass rink though.
I'm sorry but a lot of hockey players in the game today are major pussies.
Roenick lays a FAIR HUGE hit on a guy and the other players want to fight.
Suck it up.
