are u dreaming?.......hockey will never be popular in the US....except on a niche type level....
the main sports will STILL be football, basketball....i don't know about baseball since the latinos are making more a push....and soccer is becoming to sport of choice in the US...
plus hockey is too expensive to play anyway.....
The main sport is football and Baseball! Basketball is not all THAT popular. The attendance is similar to the NHL and their ratings went down big time last year for the final. Must have been because the Lakers were not in it.
The NHL is definitely picking up SOME steam.. where as before there was hardly anything.
Anyone who says Basketball is ahead of America's national past time doesn't know what they are talking about so just ignore them.
This year's world series drew an all time low of 12 million people. Yeah, the NBA only wished it had that many viewers.
BTW: Jazz you are right because even in houston there is a lot of youth hockey here. Don't listen to the ignorant people because the US has a bright future in hockey then its ever had before. Just look at the world junior team, which is the favourites of this years tournaments.
