An important announcement has been made, and it is significant for Gary Bettman and the NHL
The NHL constantly faces a significant challenge of increasing viewership in different markets, especially in the United States.
The league's activities don't always attract the highest audience, especially when it comes to events related to hockey games, such as the draft.
However, the television ratings for the ESPN network have just been released, and it's excellent news for the National Hockey League. The 2023 edition of the draft shattered the previous year's ratings, which is obviously very interesting to Commissioner Gary Bettman.
Could this be due to the presence of a generational player like Connor Bedard this year?
That's a plausible explanation, but the 2024 edition is also expected to be filled with promise, with a potential top-3 featuring Canadian Macklin Celebrini, American Cole Eiserman, and Russian Ivan Demidov.
Let's hope that the NHL can continue to achieve growth at this level in the years to come.
