But this schedule will make it very difficult for a lot of supporters to watch. I have a job that allows me the flexibility to watch soccer during the day, but many don’t have that luxury. Summer temperatures AND in the Atlantic time zone and evenings are barely utilized? Bizarre.
I agree, either there's some serious logistical issues with playing at night or there's some serious idiots at head office who think that playing at the same time as the NHL is somehow worse than being in the middle of the day during the week when no one is watching.

I can at least catch most of the games, but having to do so during the work week is a problem, and will definitely prevent casual fans from watching.
