Then again, the last state, Texas, isn't exactly known for it's love of the sport. For the record, these sort of well thought out write ups had me instantly hooked the moment I found this blog from a link on Leonsis' site. Fantastic blog overall.

I want to do some outside skating. Not much of an ice expert though. It's thick enough around here? Of what Canal are you speaking. I want to do some outside skating.

They would lose the bulk of their players because they belong to another NHL team and they'd have to restock their rosters with everyone else's castoffs. Also, very few AHL teams have an arena that meets NHL standards including Hershey. The Hershey organization is quite happy in the AHL, and the NHL auditioning comment is obviously exageration as is the promotion/relegation comment. “The NHL and AHL have reached an agreement to promote/demote teams like the English Premier League”

Let's change that! The games are selling out, so the town's bandwagoners have noticed us. Hockey is an underappreciated sport in the whole US, but I don't understand why people flock to see the awful Redskins and Nats and aren't beating down the doors to see the Caps.
