May they rest in peace. So, someone please solve this riddle please. What happens when you take a bad idea, and multiply it with a number of more bad ideas? Ummmmmmm well if your the North American Hockey league you just got your answer!
The dumbest idea in recent hockey history of having the NAHL located in Michigan has just been proved to be a complete and colossal failure. I can think of another F word to describe it but I am not allowed to use that word here for some reason. Needless to say, it rhymes with trucked.
So yeah, anyway, who is the moron who thought having any teams in Michigan? Yep, I said moron. Michigan has eight NCAA D-1, two NCAA D-3, The NHL, AHL, OHL, USHL, ECHL, and countless other organizations all competing for the same very limited entertainment and sponsorship dollars.
Ummmmmm yeah, in case you missed it, it was also the state hardest hit by the recession. And, it lost a very large portion of its residents during that recession.
Gee David, that just sounds like the perfect recipe for success in starting a new business venture!
Oh, and I don’t want to forget how big, High School, and travel hockey is in Michigan either. Yep, its a great hockey state. Its a top end talent developing state, with top flight players all over. What’s funny is that people actually think that means that any junior hockey franchise will be successful.
If your a high school student, and your high school team is playing, you are way more likely to go watch the kids you know and grew up with than you are to watch a bunch of people you don’t know. If your a player, youre already in the rink a lot, and your not likely to buy a ticket to watch when you spent the last 5 of 7 days in the rink.
So , we are now saying goodbye for a final time to the NAHL in Michigan. Good bye to Motor City, Kalamazoo, Marquette, Flint, Port Huron, and now the Soo. May you all fade quickly from my memory, and may the NAHL’s thinking that it could work in Michigan never be revisited.
So that brings us to who’s next. Ummmmmm yeah, well, I got a pretty good idea that Michigan isn’t going to be the first hockey rich state the NAHL loses. But hey, as long as their’s some rich guy who thinks he can make it work, even when a bunch have failed and continue to fail before him, there will always be some other idiot willing to spend his money.
So, yeah, lets all just say a little prayer and hope that this is the last time someone does the exact opposite of what they have been told to do.
Yep, and on that note, I think I will just toss a few shovels of dirt on this bitch cause she’s a gonner.
