There are many different issues in the NHL that need corrected, but probably the number one is safety for the players. It seems more and more players are suffering injuries for needless reasons. Yes, NHL Hockey is a hard hitting sport, but just like the NFL you have to make some rules to protect your star players. If you do not the sport will struggle to expand and grow without top stars able to play.

Another area that The NHL needs to address is growing the sport in the United States.

There are many reasons for this, but the NHL needs to address that quickly. At one time then NHL was one of the four major sports, but is slowly fading away from that it seems. In parts of America there is no hockey on television at all and that is a shame. Every one loves to see a good fight in hockey, but maybe cutting them down is the answer. Olympic hockey does not have fighting and it’s some of the best hockey to watch.

The NHL has many issues they must address if they want their sport to grow and stay one of the major sports in America. If it does not address these issues soon and head on, hockey will just continue to lose popularity and be a sport that is regional and not national.
