eventually you'll piss off enough younger fans where you'll end up like the NHL.
What does this imply? Aside from the lockouts, the NHL has secured long-term broadcasting deals in Canada and the US to fulfill the growth that it sees in the North American market. Clearly the NHL isn't anything close to the NFL from a financial standpoint, but implying the NHL is some bottom-feeder, profitless sports league isn't right.

- mitchty 13y agoAnecdotes aren't data, but where I live in Minnesota, every hockey fan that up until 2 years ago always had season tickets, won't even contemplate buying them again. These are people that have been buying NHL season tickets for their entire lives in what amounts to "hockey country". We'll see how it affects certain teams but the NHL does have fallout from the lockout.
