Don't want to derail the Barons thread so I will make this specific thread.


Obviously, we are losing the Barons and that's heartbreaking for me and other Barons fans and of course, our attendance has been awful, lot of that has to do with a lack of marketing, but also, many Oklahomans (and people in general), do not like hockey and I just wonder your reasons?

To me, hockey is just a fantastic sport. Fast paced, hard hitting, fights (Not the biggest deal to me, but it is part of the game), the playoffs are unlike any other sport, it takes a team to win, not one superstar will win you a cup (Crosby and Ovechkin have won a combined ONE cup), I could add so many more.

I have heard people say it is boring, they cannot track the puck and there is not enough scoring, to me, those just not are not good enough reasons.

What makes shooting a ball through a hoop so much more exciting than hockey? Heck, how can you be an Energy/Soccer fan but not a Barons/Hockey fan?

Want to hear everyone's thought.
