I understand the lack of coverage for the AHL, but the NLL and CHL kind of puzzle me. People only really care about the CHL when it's the World Juniors or Memorial Cup, and for the NLL you'd think a pro league with tons of big market Canadian teams (and a player base comprised of 80% Canadians) would be much bigger news.
Seriously, even when Toronto was dominating the league, the NLL was still largely unknown.
