Exactly! Think of all the university students that love hockey but can't afford to pay for NHL Center Ice. Forget going to a bar and asking them to switch to the Calgary-Minnesota game if you live anywhere other than Alberta. This could be a fantastic way to not only have the game reach all of its fans, but also expand it to other people that aren't currently fans yet as well.
