Memo to the NHL – time to wave the white towel
Try as they may – there is no one watching National Hockey League games in the United States, and the sooner those entrusted with the responsibility of operating the league understand why this has taken place, the sooner the NHL can responsibly deal with the crisis. How bad are NHL American NHL TV ratings – the last time those interested in watching the NHL on American television held a get together, they went home in the same cab. The National Hockey League – the sport that television forgot.
When you consider the total number of hours people watching sports on television continues to grow at unprecedented levels, a report in The Vancouver Province should force Gary Bettman and company to finally wave the white flag and admit they’ve failed at building a television audience for hockey in the United States.
