Lockout Gorner

Darren Paterson, Sports Editor

Lockout: Week 3.

This is getting really tired, really fast. This
little charade that the NHL and NHLPA
are putting on isn’t funny anymore.
Where’s my hockey? I want my hock-
ey... Hockey?

Just & couple of tidbits for you this
time, but nothing really significant. The
player count is up to 194 NHLers in
Europe. This constitutes around 25 per-
cent of the roughly 700 players from the
NHL. But don’t panic, kids. Most players,
with the notable exception of Peter
Forsberg, have a CBA clause in their con-
tracts over there that says they can return
to the NHL if a deal can be reached.
Which, of course, sucks balls for the com-

missioners of the European leagues who
live every moment in fear that the amaz-
ing rush of talent they have received will
be taken away any moment now.

And all of the junior and minor hock-
ey leagues have been booming. The AHL
(the NHL’s minor leagues) have been lov-
ing every minute of their increased
exposure. And in the WHL, teams are
doing great too. I’ve noticed, in particular,
that the Province sports section is ripe with
Vancouver Giants updates in place of
Canucks news. And the Giants are averag-
ing 6,750 fans per game in the 8,000-seat
Pacific Coliseum, as they have sold 2,000
more season tickets than last year. This
makes sense since tickets are only

 

 

$16-$18 compared to the lofty Canuck
prices in the range of $34-$136.

But that’s it, Not much talking
between the bitter enemies, and not much

hockey for fans to get excited about.
Really, there’s not much to see here, so
move along please.
