i think hockey tried to blow up too quick...got into too many markets.
and largely people could give a fuck-all
and they strecthed their fan base to thin
When the NorthStars left Minnesota, Hockey where you can't play outside, does not make sense from a marketing standpoint,
I live in LA and yes we have great teams,
But the market here is Hispanic, Chinese and 65 other minority groups that could give a rip about hockey,
Soccer yes, Hockey no,
It is a small minority of imported whites that support our local Hockey, up in SF too.
