I agree with what Wayne and Kurt have said. Here in LA, I know a lot of people who have season tickets to the Kings. Among them, most have only a curious interest in college hockey. This is mostly because they are hockey fans in general. Most who are very interested in college hockey come from 'back east' and graduated from a college with a hockey team. Out west, the sport needs high profile universities such as USC, UCLA, Stanford and Arizona to go Div I. The sport needs high profile match-ups. Look at the top 20 TV markets in the US. How many of them have a college hockey team? Until that changes, networks such as ESPN won't show a lot of interest. It would also help if Notre Dame's team was better. Stan Willis in college hockey wasteland.
