4 August, 2010

A consumer of NHL hockey for more than three decades, I’ve never once imagined it a clever and effective marketing idea to take NHLers, place them out on a football field, and have them fire pucks through the goalposts and toss footballs around to promote an outdoor hockey game, and yet that’s precisely what the [...]

In The Zambonis We Trust

12 October, 2008

Given the uncertain economic climate, I’ve been looking for somewhere safe to put my money. After watching XM’s NHL Live on the NHL Network on Friday night, I found it.
