I also think the NHL lacks the marketable players. Most NHLers are lowkey. They just wanna play hockey and keep to themselves. NFL has the Odell Beckam Jrs, the Terrell Owens etc. NBA is a players league. No helmets, no clunky padding. You can see them clear as day. And the vast majority of them WANT to be seen. They want the spotlight and the fame. Similarly to soccer. They don't have helmets or padding. You can see and connect to the players much easier.

NHL is trying to become more open. We see the NHL personalities on youtube every now and then. But like I said NHLers are about as exciting as wet paper. Subban gets crushed by fans and media for being interesting. Our culture as a whole needs a massive shift to market the game more. Floor hockey and street hockey are easy. Can do it anywhere. But we need to market our players as well as celebrate our personalities more. Would help to have more Subban type players in the league that make things exciting.

Those are some really excellent points @JeremyCuddles. On the other hand, you get very passionate fans that love the sport more than the players and their off-ice antics.

Whats big in America is big in the world, 3th biggest country, China and India first and second.

U.S people has chosen 'Madden' over Hockey.

Well hockey is probebly beaten at many levels..

Football, basketball, baseball and hockey.

And according to that, even soccer is higher on the list.

But ask Canada, and you get another answer.

World wide soccer is probebly the biggest.

Hockey is more spread out, some places loves it and some places dosent even know it exist.
Im all for hockey and I hope the game will get it's way to PC.. PC-people seem to be nice... When you don't cheat.. 😁

  Hockey is not fooling around.
  
  A lot of toughness, not so much personalities.
  
  David Pastrňák, Subban, two guys trying. 😏
  
  My personal opinion, it's fun with personalitie, but gets too much sometimes, not everyone got what it takes.
