Since my knowledge of hockey is minimal, I'll bow to your superior expertise on the matter. I know the basic rules, and I like to watch the Cup. But evaluating the merits of individual players is beyond me never having played the sport.

But I'm wondering how many sports fans think there's no black players in the game? And if there were more black players, would more black Americans watch?

Black Canadians are not like American blacks, in general. Most Canadian blacks come from the Caribbean, and are only several generations removed from there.

driftless, I’m new to the game too. If a guy can get into a team, watching the game is unbelievably exciting. My 7 year old boy and I watched every Jets game here in rural MO via pay streaming TV.

We had a ball. Many nail biting, unable to sit down games yelling at the TV. The best part was we had a brutal cold long winter and it was like “Winnipeg” here. Lots of below zero nights meant our little 1 acre pond froze for a long time and me and the kids played a lot of goof off hockey.

Take Care.
