When you all giving up NHL?

A league that has a vast majority of American teams, American oligarch owners, American head office, millionaire American League boss, American sponsorships, American advertisements, American everything.

There is loads of local Canadian hockey available yet here we are. Rejoicing and cheering at Americanized Canadians playing “our” sport. Attending games, Posting and commenting, watching and buying merch, subscribing, making millionaires and billionaires.

So when are you giving up the NHL?

    I’m streaming games.

    Though, arguably depending on the network, that may actually just be hurting Canadians.

    NHL revenue is based on merch (okay, easy to boycott) gate sales (again, easy enough) and tv licensing which has already been paid this season for the next however many years.

    Watching a game on a Canadian owned network like TSN mostly just helps Canadians, possibly some minor adjustment in the next licensing deal but pretty goshdarned marginal as most of the movement on those is driven by anticipation of growth in foreign markets.
