Anybody see the Turk (Derek Sanderson) on Power Lunch yesterday? He was (is?) a broker with Tucker, Anthony (now Tucker, Cleary) and has launched a fund directed specifically at athletes.

<<I'll step off the soapbox for a bit...>>

I was going to say, that's one of the longest posts I've seen you make there Fred, <gg>

Your point is well taken. Fans walk away more satisfied watching a game where the players play fair and play hard regardless of whether it's NHL or USHL. Having a winning team though is a bonus.
Fans are looking to connect in some way to there team whether it be with players, style of game, team colors or even what the familiar taste a hotdog brings, smothered in onions at there particular arena.
To sellout 200+ games means the people running the show your way are doing something right.

So why am I up at 4:30am. We added a boxer pup to the family, need I say more. Poop and scoop, poop and scoop. <ggg>
