PG - overall it is good work. My main piece of advice would be to think about the focus of the piece. What is the main thing you want to discuss?
At the beginning it poses an interesting question that could form the basis of the piece - are the fans ready to forgive the NHL? From here it provides a summary of the new CBA (good), and an overview of the rules...also good but perhaps too detailed as it detracts from the focus of the piece.
At the end of you have "Darryl Sutter has put together a team that he believes will prosper in the new NHL world. It’s too close to say yet, but in Sutter we trust." To me this seems out of place...I'm not sure what it has to do with the original question posed.
One idea would be to get interview some of your peers and get their quotes on whether or not they plan on supporting the NHL or if they are still bitter about the lockout.
Again - very good stuff but I think as the piece moves along it starts to stray away from the central topic.
Hope that helps.
