PaperAirplane31 Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 I wished they played an exhibition game in Hartford, their AHL affiliate like some other clubs are doing, instead of Puetro Rico. That's a good idea, except for two problems: the NHL will not coming back to Connecticut no matter how badly all of us want it to; and I'm gonna make an estimated guess that 76% of the population of San Juan has never even seen ice before much less people crashing into each other on it.What I think they should do is a Rangers* vs. Bruins game in Hartford to see if the crowd roots for New York or Massachusetts.***Islanders would work also.**This should be done for every sport that it can be done for. Does Connecticut have any minor league stadiums? Ah! This belongs in another thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FiddySicks Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 now this, is awesome.expand your fanbase, no matter where it might be. It makes sense for the Rangers and Panthers to market to fans in Puerto Rico, seeing as how they both play in markets with a large Puerto Rican population. and contrary to what certain closed minded shallow individuals might think, there are latino hockey fans out there. Not just in New York and Miami either, but in Dallas, Phoenix, LA, Anaheim, and I know this for a fact, SAN JOSE.Its time to accept it, hockey is for everyone, no matter what ethnicity you are or the climate where you live.Anyone who thinks otherwise needs to pull thier head out of thier ass and wipe the off thier upper lip. Hell yes. SJ sure does have that Hispanic fanabse rockin. Especially one of the boards finest.Puckguy14.Oh, and that other unclean and beastly guy.

sean69 Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 First off this is not a expantion effort to Puerto Rico, it is just a exhibition game down there. The owners of MSG, have interests in the new building that has been built. Second they might get 5000 fans with about half the tickets given to a charity so kids can get in free. The NHL is not to crazy about this or they would be selling it like madmen.Third hockey has been played all around the would for decades, it is just you Americans that have just got on board in the last few years.

My argument wasn't against Hispanics, if you weren't so busy slinging such eloquent comebacks maybe you would have read the first couple of lines in my post and gotten that. My problem with the NHL is the worthless marketing ploys they are trying. What they should be doing is a better job marketing their game and players WITHIN the continental US as opposed to outside of it. They're getting HAMMERED in the U.S. by all of the other major sports. They only wish they could be like the NFL. They've got a long way to go.

DEAD! Posted September 23, 2006 Author Share Posted September 23, 2006 i completely agree with ICS on this one.but the real question is, who's the woman on the left of the photo? I guess looking at the article and the front page of the Rangers website, her name is, Anna Munoz, MB Sports marketing executive. As for powersurge's argument that this "move" is senseless, IT'S A FREAKIN' EXHIBITION GAME! No exhibition game makes sense anyways. It will not, in any way, affect the way the NHL promotes itself in the US as you've tried to argue. If this makes no sense, then it's makes no less sense than that exhibition game at Caesar's Palace several years back or any NFL exhibition game overseas over the years.This game will attract a different crowd to hockey even if they don't show up for that game. There could be some curious people on the island who may decide to learn how to skate and eventually might give hockey a go and even buy NHL merchandise, which is what the NHL really wants. I saw, I came, I left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winters in buffalo Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 What I think they should do is a Rangers* vs. Bruins game in Hartford to see if the crowd roots for New York or Massachusetts.** If I had to guess, I'd say it would be much like what happened when the Leafs and Sabres played a neutral site game in Hamilton a few years back... the crowd booed both teams the entire time.
