“Fehr admitted to a lack of knowledge about a European club champion set-up, but he certainly admitted a willingness to add his name to the discussion”

Yikes! And he’s the guy looking to manage the NHL’s CBA and lead the way to grow hockey internationally? You are better off handing your beloved car key’s to Stevie Wonder or Jose Feliciano than to have this fool lead your league and crash it down in the name of building up his resume/ego.

I don’t know of another sport that can do that. That’s pretty exciting to me.”

IF i were a hockey fan, i’d be concerned to hear a statement like that from someone who sounds more like a salesman trying to sell ice cream in Alaska than someone who should be serious to work a league’s CBA.

Nothing against your beloved sport and not trying to burst your bubble, but wasn’t he strictly baseball’s labor leader for many years? This guy sounds more like a preacher giving a sermon about a brighter future just as armageddon is about to begin.

Besides Soccer (Futbol for those who are touchy about the name,) hockey really is a huge international sport. Could even have a North America vs. Europe type competition, or just a flat out international tournament.

Olympic hockey with NHL players is second to none.
