SI HAS IDEA FOR NHL IN SPICING UP ITS ALL-STAR WEEKEND
Published January 23, 1998
The NHL "should consider" staging a game featuring the
top 40 Canadian Hockey League prospects during its All-Star
Weekend, according to Kostya Kennedy of SI. Kennedy: "The
NHL dreads the logistical nightmare of adding the CHL game
to an already overstuffed weekend. They're also afraid that
the game might not draw fans in U.S. cities. But if the
game is packaged with the All-Stars skill competition,
spectators will turn out" (SPORTS ILLUSTRATED, 1/26 issue).
