The longer preseason allows for the kids to spend some time in a NHL camp and get into a couple games. That is pretty much your first week. The last 3 games are for the NHLers to get their skating legs and a couple prospects on the verge to make their case.

I would do the first two games for guys on the bubble + rookies then the last game for the vets. All these guys are in peak condition and the season lasts forever. Pitter patter.

Preseason doesn’t matter. I wish it was one week shorter and 3 games maximum. Season is already too long.

If it was up to me I would make the preseason one week shorter, eliminate the All star week and game, end the season by June 10th at the latest.
Id shorten the season for sure

Personally I don’t mind the length of camp. I’d really prefer though not to have to dish out the money on preseason games as part of the ST package. That part is annoying.

Its not that I mind the camp as much as I would like hockey to finish by about June 10th. The All start party and training camp seem like the easiest way to claw back time since they aren't really NHL hockey. I get that I am probably alone in wanting to kill the fluff and streamline the preseason scrimmages.

Your not alone, I hate training camp.

I wouldn't cut the TC as much as you would. I could see compressing it a bit. Also start it a week or 2 earlier. Right after labour day would be good.

The all-star game is a complete waste, totally and utterly. Please stop it. Season AND playoffs should be over by about May 10. If we are golfing in Manitoba it is too late for hockey.
