[QUOTE="john250, post: 348396, member: 4406"] Folks have tried and tried to establish hockey in my region. It's a good game, it just doesn't sell around here. Nobody played it as a kid. Pretty rare to have a natural rink (outdoor ice) around here and the schools can't afford icemakers. (Heck, the schools can't afford science teachers) Basketball sells here. We pay big time for that. Eat it and breathe it like you eat and breathe hockey. I went to a hockey game once. I still haven't figured out the danged "blue line" thing. NASCAR is pretty close to pro wrasslin', but the drivers are most definitely athletes. Power steering would sap too much horsepower. Those things are big dumb cars and it can't be easy. Open wheeled cars are better, because they don't have the option of crashing for entertainment. IMO And they are at least fuel injected and multi valved. I think it was Jerry Buss (owner of the LA Lakers) who looked at census info showing there were 600,000 Canadians living in LA. He immediately invested in the LA Kings hockey team. Later, when they were losing millions, he said something like "all those Canadians are living in LA because THEY HATE HOCKEY". Hockey really is a man's sport. VERY skilled athletes. I hope they can at least stay ahead of soccer in the market. [/b] [/QUOTE]
