lol, NHL die?........ ....how much did Vegas and Seattle pay to get a team again? wasnt there like a big party in Seattle when awarded?


“I believe the scouts should go out, and go to places that are not normal places to go. Go to the unknown places where these people are trying and give them a try, give them a look,” said Neal Henderson, who founded the first minority-youth hockey program in the country in Washington, D.C.
“Don’t ignore him. Let him know he’s there. He might not make it, but just the idea that ‘Maybe I need to do a little more, maybe I need to talk to somebody else’…Don’t shut the door on him without giving him that opportunity.”

..........

GO WHERE, to which 'not normal palces to go'? you mean like a house-league bantom game in the heart of Atlanta? to make sure everyone is givin' a fair shake? Hockey is expensive,. And no one goes anywhere unless they ,play at the highest level (AAA). For many areas in the US that means a Travel-team ; big bucks. Kudos to him for founding that hockey program in Wash, DC

the travel team here in phx is 30g a year,, 4 days a week practice, plus 1 game a week. also travel all over the state + country,, this league goes year round.

my nephews both play, but only in the rec league,, thats 3000 a year a piece,, they practice 1 day a week organized,, 1 or 2 Open skates a week (depends on what time of year as to the time) typically its 4am or 5am sat n suns,,, then 1 game a week,,

super difficult to break into this sport without more support from the city. Having said that??? who gets into the 30g travel team? lol,,,

I guess it's more proof as to who's more "racists" Funny how the NBA doesn't need to diversify, meaning whites support the league, yet the NHL does. Same with golf. Minorities only watch when Tiger is playing.

I once heard Coin Cowherd say that he understands why black people don't watch the NHL as they have little representation but can't understand how anyone wouldn't like the NBA. Believe he even mentioned racism lol. Ironically the NBA is significantly more popular.

pretty sad if he thinks a race won't watch a sport if they aren't well represented. he think the majority of season ticket holders in nba and nfl are blacks? white people don't seem to have an issue with watching sports they aren't well represented

The agenda is trickle down. It starts from the top and filters on down. Keep digging.
