We have to get a junior hockey franchise put together from top to bottom. We're looking forward to it, but that year and a bit is going to go by in a hurry.

Unlike football or basketball, we aren't allowed access to the playing service during breaks in play.

We have a template. Twenty-two minutes.

There are so many moving parts. It works best as the first game of the season and Mess told us he can't wait, so we'd like to get to it as soon as possible.

Our sense is it'll be a lot more.

The thought of seeing multi-millionaire hockey players skating around outside playing for real points has captured something.

Our fans had the attitude that losing a year would be OK if they fixed it. And they did fix it. Our renewal is going to be close to 100%.
