Hi all, The film premieres for my new 2-DVD set "Gretzky, Indy & The WHA" went great in Toronto at the HHOF and in Kingston at the IHHOF last week. This...
King Clancy already has a couple of known goalie stints - one in 1924-25 for Ottawa, and one in 1931-32 for Toronto. Apparently, there's another one that's...
The game was played in Vancouver but I don't believe there was any mention in either the April 1, 1923 Vancouver Sun or Edmonton Journal about Clancy playing...
It turns out that this appearance is listed in the 2nd edition of Total Hockey after all (the light gray shading used for the early Stanley Cup series threw me...
This is included in the 2nd edition of Total Hockey, but it isn't counted as an NHL game since it was in a Stanley Cup challenge series. ... From: dsreyn...
Question for the group here. It certainly seems that Gary Bettman is "bound and bent" on keeping the Coyotes in Phoenix regardless of how much money they lose...
Craig, One easy answer: Québec, Hartford and Winnipeg came from the WHA, even Edmonton was about to move at one point with no help from the NHL. These ...

Bettman, I think, is an NBA guy and so digs having NHL teams in NBA cities. He wants his teams in all the big cities (see Atlanta getting ANOTHER team). don't...
... First, this isn't just Bettman. He does not act alone. Southern expansion may have been his plan, but it's hardly an original idea, and Bettman has had the...
Well, the first domino to fall was Minnesota in 1993, and the North Stars weren't in the WHA. Unless they too were targets of the anti-WHA conspiracy because...
I think that Hamilton may have MORE appeal than Phoenix actually. First of all, HOCKEY fans in the Us tend to have strong identities with Canada. They actually...

In any sports league, the cities are part of the product. Phoenix, while not a major city, has the *image* of being a major city, and that adds to the value...
Please cite your sources. Here are some hard figures. Based on the US Census Bureau's 2007 population estimates, Phoenix ranks as the 5th-largest city, at...
On Wed, Jun 3, 2009 at 12:58 PM, William Underwood < ... It's not the hockey fans that are the concern. The 15,000 of them there are in any US market are...
On image I think that we have to look at two separate issues.to outsiders YES Hamilton is a better image but no necessarily for the HOCKEY community and its...
There are really four separate issues here. 1-A league's right to control locations.now this is murky given the Al Davis cases however there is a clear...
A couple of items consolidated into one e-mail: Nielsen television markets generally have a greater population figure compared to MSA's population figure, and...
We can argue this all night long depends on what census your reading and if your including the "suburban" cities around it. Here Phoenix is 5th ...

John I agree that the casual US sports fan is who the NHL is concerned about which is the problem.they simply could care less about hockey! And Phoenix won't...
Yes and Miami and Atlanta rate high on that list as well....both hockey hotbeds!! :) Interesting list, but Edmonton, Hartford, Winnipeg and Buffalo all rate ...

Actually I could have added a 5th issue.Glendale.there is a lease matter there. however these things generally can be dealt with. Still we can pretty certain...
I am pretty sure that the lease with Glendale along with all contracts are null and void if a firm enters bankruptcy. Glendale could be a secured creditor,...
It is a hard call but you can generally get out of leases, it is just a question of will it be hard or easy? As for the contracts, in terms of business...
During Saturday night's Coach's Corner, Don Cherry claimed that Steve Yzerman missed five games due to being injured celebrating with his teammates after...
