You're using stupid metrics though. Can't compare avg attendance as ticket prices aren't comparable at all and the number of events are very different (17 home games vs 41 excluding playoffs and pre-season). It is well known NHL is behind in terms of social media presence and its athletes show very poor personal branding. But NHL is still ahead of MLS by far as a league.

Your logic makes no sense, so what about MLB with 81 Home games? They are crushing both MLS and NHL with nearly 29k. Didnt think of that did you. As for ticket prices well if you go to the south you can get tickets cheaper than most in MLS. Montreal is overpriced because they know for a lot of ppl its their religion


NHL is only thriving because of Canada and northern American Cities. You go to Florida or Texas, they dont even know what hockey is and they think Sidney Crosby is an Australian city. Like I said in my previous MLS is behind NHL in terms of TV viewership but its normal because there is no MLS on NBC like NHL has. And TV viewership means money so more revenue. It will catch up, MLS 3.0 has been around less than 10 years.

If you still have doubts just look at the disastrous Atlanta hockey team v Atlanta soccer team and Florida Panthers v Orlando City. Dont get me wrong hockey is a nice sport just not marketable where the weather is warm. And Ive been to both Texas and Florida, I am not even kidding when I say they rather watch darts than ice hockey.


So yes for now NHL has a bigger revenue but not cultural impact in North America over MLS..

Most profitable sports leagues:

1. National Football League (NFL) — $13 Billion
2. Major League Baseball (MLB) — $10 Billion
3. National Basketball Association (NBA) — $7.4 Billion
4. Indian Premier League (Cricket) — $6.3 Billion
5. English Premier League — $5.3 Billion
6. National Hockey League (NHL) — $4.43 Billion
7. Australian Rules Football — $2.5 Billion
8. La Liga (Spanish Football League) — $2.2 Billion
9. Serie A (Italian Football League) — $1.9 Billion
10. Ligue 1 (France/Monaco Football League) — $1.5 Billion
11. Nippon Professional Baseball (Japanese Baseball league) — $1.1 Billion

This list means nothing lol. Its all because of TV contracts that are usually signed long term. Popularity doesnt mean money. I think we can agree that worldwide Premier League, La Liga, L1 have a MUCH bigger influence than Indian cricket league, but which league makes more money? Based on that list, cricket. Glad you brought that list cuz it proves exactly what Im trying to say.

So thats the same for MLS v NHL. Markets in MLS are closed which means there is no parity like in other leagues. But the average American sport watcher could name you a player of the present/past : Chicharito, Zlatan, Rooney, Beckham .. over Subban or Crosby or Fedorov. Just compare social media numbers with them, its night and day.

Well, what you are showing here is that MLS has more growth potential revenue-wise than the NHL... and that's true. You are also arguing popularity when the real metric is $. In that metric MLS is behind the NHL (but will be in front soon enough).

I was kind of expecting it. He seemed detached even in the later portion of last season.

This season wont get any better.

 

[Adam Michaels]

any news on Khari Jones?

I think he'll be screening Danny Macciocia's calls.

Not just 1 day later. A few minutes after Simon O Lorange tweeted that in jest, CFMTL confirmed Ciman's hiring.
