An announcement has just been released showing that hockey is more popular than ever in the United States, an announcement that will certainly please Bettman today.

Would hockey be even more popular if the commissioner finally accepted to bring back the Quebec Nordiques? In any case, his plan unfortunately seems to be working.

«The first two rounds of the 2024 Stanley Cup Playoffs are the most-watched of all time. A 12% increase for the second round makes it the most-watched of all time on cable.

- In the United States, the second round of the 2024 Stanley Cup Playoffs is the most-watched of all time on cable, with an average audience of 1.546 million viewers, a 12% increase from 2023.

- The 2024 Stanley Cup Playoffs are the most-watched Stanley Cup Playoffs in history after the first two rounds, with an average audience of 1.158 million viewers, a 9% increase from 2023.» - NHL

Let's still hope he realizes he could grow his sport and league by bringing a team back to Quebec and taking more interest in the Canadian market, but we must admit that the numbers prove him right for now.
