There has been something missing from the American sports landscape for over a year now and that something is NHL hockey.

With all due respect to the NFL and the NBA, they just can’t compare to the excitement of the fastest game on ice. With all the beauty of a half-court offense, the constant opportunity for fast break attacks and all the bone-crunching thunder of quarterback sacks, the NHL offers the total package for the sports fan and does it in less than three hours per game.

The fact that every viable market in the United States is represented doesn’t hurt the game either. When you factor in that Canada has significant representation within the league as well, it makes the NHL the only true North American sport in existence, something that the NBA and NFL can’t claim.

So this winter, when you’re struggling to stay awake in the fourth quarter of the Baltimore-Arizona NFL game or the Golden State-LA Clipper NBA showdown, remember that there will hopefully be a better option out there – NHL hockey.
