ONLINE NEWS & NOTES: NHL.COM TO RELAUNCH OCTOBER 1

          The Flames, Oilers and Canadiens are the only three NHL
     teams without an official Web site, according to Mitch
     Garber of the Montreal GAZETTE.  Garber: "Did you know you
     could sell more Canadiens merchandise off the Internet than
     you will ever sell out of the Molson Centre store?"  While
     the NHL's web site at www.nhl.com "is doing a good job,"  
     the league is planning a "total graphic and content
     relaunch" on October 1, making the new site "easier to
     navigate and more fan-friendly" (Montreal GAZETTE, 9/14).
