Shane Doan played his rookie season in Winnipeg and moved with the team to Aizona. He is synonymous with Coyotes hockey.
Now his son Josh got to play his first NHL games with the Coyotes this year and will move with the team to Utah.

I haven't been to Louisville for a few years so I kow a few things have changed but I recall Evan Williams having a Speakeasy tasting where you go to a hidden bar down in the basement that was cool. I also enjoyed a small place like Peerless. specially if you like Rye...
If Tiger Woods couldn't move the needle for Nike golf clubs, I'm not sure anyone will buy Wilson just because Rick Shiels plays them.
They might and be and are probably great for certain golfer but until I see them in stores and being pushed by a marketing campaign like TaylorMade and Callaway...
Quebec may get another shot in expansion but the dwindling attendance in Winnipeg for a winning team has to be concerning for the league when Quebec City is a slightly smaller area.
Hockey will never return to Hartford. It suffered because it was too close to everything else. Everyone there is...
I think its 2 things.
People began producing more and that stuff is reaching their 6-8 year old maturity now and it's only going to keep increasing over time. Also, people have tightened their spending a bit.

I do think arena location has a huge impact. The Phoenix metropolitan region is huge. The Panthers have struggled historically with attendance because their arena is not in a great location either being almost an hour from Miami. The Ottawa Senators have struggled with attendance because their...
The attendance has some caveats though. They've always been near the bottom of the league in attendance. Living in Columbus myself, I understand that fairweather fans will only show up when a team is winning. Even when the Coyotes were successful they still struggled in attendance...
I feel sorry for fans of Arizona but the ownership and the local government has made it hard for them to be fans. Phoenix is just not a market that is going to work. Glendal failed because of bad ownership and the fact it takes like 45 minutes to driver from the east side of the Phoenix area to...
I think we tried that. We don't possess the puck long enough and take short rushes down the ice, fail to score and then let the other team setup shop in the offensive zone to take advantage of our poor defense. We need a bit of Woody Hayes "3 yards and a cloud of dust" offense to actually have...
