Here’s to Hope
Raise your glasses, say salut and drink away. That’s probably the cheeriest CBA-related thing you can do over the next week despite what you might be reading from some “maybe there will be a season” hopefuls.
The Winnipeg Sun lists some possible concessions made by the NHLPA in the new proposal, but there’s not a hint of linkage between revenues and salaries, and until there is one the NHL probably won’t flinch.
I’d love to see a season, it’s just not looking good. In fact, I’d be happy if I knew the NHL would start on time next season.
So what to do? Well, minor and college hockey is what we’ve got down here in the States. I plan on catching an AHL and a few ECHL games this year, and I may even be able to get in a UHL game or two. Many I know have always followed minor leagues, but there are obviously quite a few who have stepped up there efforts to attend live minor league games. Ben at the Net Files posted an excellent recap of his ECHL Adventure. Hopefully we’ll all have as good an experience as Ben did.
