NHL in America
The NHL in America has struggled to gain a stable foothold among the other Professional Sports Leagues but the fan base that supports them are simply awesome. The fans are so supportive and have been through a lockout, a strike, bad management of teams and the game itself yet they continue to stand by the sport. It makes you wonder is the NHL doing all it can to keep their fan base and grow the sport their fans love?When you see post about hockey on social networks and blogs there seems to be a real separation among American and Canadian NHL fans. Americans don't see it as home grown and its not. You don't see a lot of kids in the streets playing hockey and that is part of the problem with the sport, but in Canada its everywhere!

So what can the NHL do about it? Is it a cultural issue? Will Americans ever embrace hockey? We believe they will! I'm a die-hard sports fan, I love action and competition and hockey is exciting! I believe that if you've never seen the sport in action or been to a game that's something you should do. After attending a hockey game and seeing the speed and skill of the players I had a new respect for the game and the people that play. NHL in America is definitely possible.

Another opportunity to increase hockey's popularity is getting the apparel on the backs of younger more hip kids. There was a period when hip hop artist were wearing hockey jersey's in video's and to award shows. Kids create trends and clothing could be the launching pad of acceptance. NHL in America needs a makeover, there fan base deserve it. Visit our web site and join fans of all sports sharing the passion! www.whatafan.com
