#### I used to play hockey with a Canada regular Spengler cup participant and he was pretty ok at hockey at best.

How does the level of play not being the best in the world mean that it holds zero value? Maybe the value would be that you attend & have a really good time watching some hockey? Sorry if it comes off like I'm picking on you specifically but I've never understood this ongoing rhetoric by North American sports fans that for a sport to be worth watching it has to be the 'best product'.
It certainly holds value to the local fans even though they're watching a bunch of 'nobodies'. It's almost as if they just really like the sport of hockey or something..
