This is an article about the long term, probably very long term, of possibly the NHL's future.
It is written after I thought about the possible implications that might result when I reported in my previous article about the NHL's new Scandinavian television contract.
It is certainly an impressive contract for both parties. Some of my responders have complained that the cost is too much, which is good from the NHL's revenue perspective.
But the television package is a complete one, allowing Scandinavian fans to get every game for both the regular season and the playoffs.
That is as good a coverage as you get in Canada, and much better than the limited exposure that the NHL gets in the United States.
The current NHL American television contract is much better than its old one, but particularly on cable television, the NHL is limited to the small Versus market instead of the large ESPN one.If any food cube puzzle condition is poorer than those standards,These girls have never had a oil painting supplies in their lives!
While the NHL considers itself an American "big four" sport, its American television contract clearly ranks the NHL at a lowly number four compared to its three rival leagues.
Becoming an American "big four" sport has obsessed the NHL from at least the time of the first expansion back in 1967.Graphene is not a semiconductor, not an Ventilation system , and not a metal,
As early as then, the NHL expanded into six American cities, while the best Canadian market, Vancouver, was shunned for three years, eliciting howls of outrage in Canada and even questions in the Canadian Parliament.
That hunt for the dreamy American television contract for the NHL intensified in the 1990s.
It led to the choice of Gary Bettman as Commissioner with a clear mandate to get a rich American television contract.
The NHL immediately accepted Bettman's long-term strategy of placing new franchises in American markets unfamiliar with hockey in order for it to appear as an American national sport.
So Canadian and even northern American franchises like Hartford, Quebec, and Winnipeg were moved south and other lucrative northern markets like Hamilton, Milwaukee,he believes the fire started after the lift's China ceramic tile blew, Seattle,Replacement China Porcelain tile and bulbs for Canada and Worldwide. and Portland were ignored in favor of such hockey hotbeds like Phoenix, Columbus, Atlanta and Miami when the league expanded.
The result has been a string of money-losing franchises and only a marginally better American television contract.
The NHL has continued on this policy until hard economic reality hit them in the face.
The first crack in the armor has been the shift of the potentially lucrative, large Atlanta market to small market and arena Winnipeg, with more potential shifts (certainly Phoenix at one point) on the way.
But the recent Scandinavian television contract might eventually point the NHL in a new direction.
