Hockey needs exposure, kids need to idolize players on local teams, what kind of teams? Surely not NHL teams because not everyone has a local NHL team. So you're basically saying that in order for their to be more talented players in the NHL they need to come from the states? Where does Lance Armstrong fit into this? If this is a Canadian-American thing you are way off base, hockey doesn't need exposure, and exposure has nothing to do with the talent pool, the talent pool is down because of the amount of teams in the league, and no amount of "exposure" is going to fix this. I'm really lost with your post, it went in so many different directions I don't know what it was all about, but I think I got the point. sort of.
