i really miss hockey as well, but i have reservations about the NHLPA. hockey has been an ugly business for a very long time now. for the longest time, i forced myself to “believe” in the surfacey sheen of “guts and glory/it’s all about the game”. i can’t do it any longer. money and greed have ruined the game.
a part of me wants this lockout to utter destroy the NHL, so that something better and truer to the sport can emerge from the ashes.
I’m thinking: a CHL, a six team league made up entirely of Canadian cities, and an AHL, six teams made up entirely of American cities. A 12 team league packed with talent, and affordable to boot. (maybe even a european league, who knows?) it should only be a game for those geographical regions that care about hockey or, at the very least, can sustain ice-creating temperatures!!
