Don't forget the AFF had TV deals, and look how long that league lasted.
and that was for American football.

TV deals don't mean anything if nobody watches the games. I can't imagine too many people watching it and allowing the league to meet advertising targets.

America won't care, and I don't think you'll have too many Canadians starved enough for hockey in the summer that they'd want to watch a gimmick league.
