Great start for your site. Can you explain what the name of the site is about?

I love the idea of rookie and prospect games. Though you need to see how these players would react to the real members of the team. There wouldn't be any starting five on a team with just rookies. All you will be doing is seeing how these guys play against players in the same skill level. There wouldn't be much in-game use because scouts have seen them play in similar situations by following all of their college careers.

It might also lead to people trying to make a name for themselves over other teammates. That would lead to them hot-dogging plays and maybe picking more fights with the other team.

As a fan I would love for NHL to adopt these games because it would be sort of like Spring Training for hockey. I'm sure people would want to buy discounted tickets to games like this and it would be great for a cheap family sporting event. I don't see what would be the value of the games for the teams. Seems like another set of exhibition games that are unpopular enough even more so because the rookies and prospects could get injured and their futures jeopardized.

What are your thoughts on fighting in Hockey? Do you think they should stop fights earlier? I think something should be done about goons in hockey. Seems like they are getting like the movie Slap Shot out there with the Hanson Brothers.

I'm a Boston sports mark but I think Bobby Orr's goal should be higher. Canada winning an Olympic gold is expected so I wouldn't have that rated so high no matter what the scenario behind it was.

Your two is number one in my opinion.
