Dammit I miss hockey. Just had to get that out first.
What do you all think of this by the WHA? It's a multimillion dollar tournement they are holding in hopes of getting more intrest in the league. I for one would love to see this actually work and usher in a new era of hockey, sure they are changing some of the rules around but that may not be a bad thing. The game needs to open up more, the trap system was one of the worst things to happen to hockey in the past years. Sure it wins games but it is boring to watch. The reason I fell in love with hockey was the fast and amazing play, the rough physical aspect and the camaraderie of a team.
The intrest of hockey in the USA is pretty much nil, but it has grown in the past few years. Is it enough for the WHA to survive? God I hope so.
