Is Ice Hockey Back?

March 28th 2006

It looks like ice hockey just might be making its way back.  In places like Green Bay, Wis., where football has been king for several decades, hockey is popular with both the young and not so young, and not only as a spectator sport.
 

Youth and adult leagues, as well as male and female participation numbers, are on the rise in Wisconsin and many other states.
 

In fact, Green Bay found a way to bring together its love for football and hockey back in February when they hosted the Frozen Tundra game that featured Wisconsin and Ohio State before 40,890 fans at Lambeau Field, a game which netted an estimated $2.8 in tourism revenue.
 

Most recently, Green Bay hosted an NCAA Hockey Regional and it was a big hit with local fans and attracted thousands of out of town visitors to the area.
 

Your turn to take a shot!
 

Do you think hockey is making its way back as the fourth most popular professional sport, or has NASCAR earned that distinction?
