April Is Hockey Month

from Mark Spector of the National Post,
The tournament begins in quasi-hockey weather in 16 cities. But The Masters quickly passes, nature moves on to baseball, and summer arrives before the hockey playoffs are even half over. As fans’ home teams fall by the wayside, the very nature of spring turning to summer draws them away from the TV and out of doors.
It works in direct opposition to the onset of winter coinciding with the baseball playoffs - when a fire, a couch and a good ballgame marry up perfectly - and the television ratings reflect that. By the time they play the Stanley Cup final interest is regional, with most Canadians watching with one eye from the clubhouse or the cabin, or not at all.
The good news? Pay your cable bill, friend, because the best hockey month of the year is upon us.
