Uh, because the NHL, like most professional North-American sports is a completely artificial franchise based entertainment operation thinly disguised as sports?

It has ice hockey teams in California for fuck sake!

(Yes, this is me as a snobbish European speaking. I will never understand how this form of sports competition can be taken seriously. Although come to think of it, compared to most of the world, North America doesn't take sports competitions that seriously.)

Are you talking about the North America that has around 15 universities with higher average (football) attendance than any team in the Champion's League gets [1][2]?
