In the US, hockey is so far behind the other 3 major sports in terms of fan attendance and television revenue that I can't see them ever really bouncing back from a season long work stoppage. Even baseball had major problems until Mark McGuire broke the home run record and rekindled a lot of lost fan interest, and that's the "American Pastime". We're building a new stadium in downtown KC and are rumored to have an inside deal to bring an NHL team here (leading contender - the Mighty Ducks) around 2007 and I'm curious about what the state of the league will be by then.
