As a die hard hockey fan, I am devastated by the lack of an NHL season. I stumbled across a post on another blog site by Chris Mihailoff, who likewise, is also a confused NHL fan.

I continuously ask myself if it is an unethical move by the NHL to deprive it’s fans of hockey. After all, it is the fans who are buying (most) of the 18,000 seats available at the 30 NHL arenas each game. This is also how the players are able to make millions of dollars per year. Yet it seems, that both the Players Association and the NHL cannot agree on a deal due to a couple percent in revenue shares.

Of course, the fans are getting the short end of the stick here. They really have no say in the negotiations. The most fans can do is buy tickets and merchandise, and with revenues going up each year, it is safe to say they have been doing their share.
