As long as the CHL keeps paying peanuts and the NCAA paying nothing I can see it happening a lot. Professional hockey in Switzerland is a big deal nowadays, All games are televised but sort of a PPV style but the teams make good $$$ from them. I read somewhere Bern averages the most hockey fans in all of Europe.
The minute McDavid lost the lottery he should have signed over there.
