There's a lot of interest in hockey in almost every NHL market. The rinks are usually pretty full, and the fans are invested in their team.
But we were talking about the two markets in Vancouver and Seattle, and where NHL hockey ranks in the pecking order. We know where it comes in, in Vancouver.
But in Seattle, if the NBA returns, than the Kraken are likely at or about the bottom of the list. Frankly I think a lot more people in Seattle worry more about the Seahawks trading D.K. Metcalfe to the Steelers, than they do anything that happens down the road at the Climate Pledge Arena.
But that's the issue in a lot of NHL markets in America. It's the NFL; the NBA; MLB; College Sports and NHL hockey--in that order.
