They still show hockey highlights on Sportscenter. Besides which, name 5000 people outside of Canada and Russia (and other countries that used to be a part of the USSR) that don't work for a hockey or collegiate sports organization or team that actually give two shits about ice hockey. Give up? Of course you do! |
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NHL_attendance
Chicago, Philadelphia, Detroit, Minnesota, Pittsburgh, Boston, and New York are all big Hockey Cities. Hockey is on par for attendance with the NBA, and only sligtly behind for TV ratings if you stay out of the South. Once you throw in Canada, Hockey is probably bigger than Basketball in NA, but that is purely speculation.
Anyways, it was just my one reaosn for not liking ESPN. I think they are ok personally but for a while I hated that hockey went to VS. because I couldn't watch VS. but I could get ESPN.
