great stuff.. cant wait

if the majority of the players aren't Canadian...I won't watch it and neither will most Hockey fans.

BUT, if they can grow over the years and bring in the North American style of play, I'll watch a few games on satellite

I wonder how many North Americans they're going to be able to recruit to the league, probably be limited to those that REALLY prefer the Euro style of play. As is it not ever Canadian child's dream to hoist the Stanly Cup above their heads? Or to check someone through the glass? lol

thank you kaetz..


competition for players will come down to money.. and the Russians have a lot.


wont change much today, but in 5 years.... ?

at least Europeans wont be stuck with staying up all night to try and catch a game.
