If you were voted for NHL Commissioner for a day, how do you market the NHL?

[Hasbro]

Have an Opening Night.

All 32 teams play their season opener on the first or second Friday in October. The NHL would dominate the sports news cycle for a night.

Protect and promote your stars and unique personalities. Aggressively punish players who play to injure the opponent's skill players. Pursue rule and equipment changes that promote free flowing, high scoring hockey. Institutionalize student rush and other discount ticket programs to grow interest in the game. There should never be an empty seat in an arena.

Yeah i love the skinny dudes with the joke of a gloves, if boxing heavyweights did the fights with those there would be a burial after every bout.

I dunno. Some think and maybe rightfully so that boxing might be worse for health due to the cumulative head shots they face in part because they are wearing gloves. The trauma is then more chronic for the boxer than it would be for harder, less frequent blows.
