HOLY SHIT !! I don't believe I heard that - on the CBC National News. "If the talks do not resolve the issue by October, about five hundred players will seek to play in their native countries, and there may be a move towards a WORLD HOCKEY LEAGUE!!!" It will be "previewed" by the upcoming world tournament, in which, Canada, and other countries, will be able to field a team of it's best players, who will not be held back by their NHL commitments. HOLY SHIT !! A real world hockey league! Globalization? Or Rogersization? Anyway, I like it. I may even watch hockey again, before the playoffs.
