Dear Mrs. Wallentine:

I enjoyed meeting with you last month to discuss bringing the NHL expansion team to Kansas City. I have included the more detailed report you requested specifically regarding the current and future economy and other critical benefits to the area.

The data and conclusions I have gathered come prominently from city records and other analysis reports. I have worked diligently to make the report as complete and objective as possible.

I sincerely hope my analysis will help you in your decision making process and lead you to see favor in the Kansas City area. If you have any more questions please do not hesitate to call me.

Sincerely,

Kalyn Pfaff

While Hill had a lot of passion for street hockey, he was not able to translate that drive and energy into profitable results. The most important reasons are his inadequate financial funding and his lack of forward vision and planning. As described in the reading, Hill did not…

    Nhl Hockey Team

    In designing its marketing strategy for 1995 and beyond, the NHL has several options it can pursue to profitably expand its fan base. One such option is to implement a grassroots street-hockey program that attempts to increase understanding and interest of the game through participation. This strategy would encompass a travelling street-hockey tournament, equipment donations to youth clubs, and an All Star weekend similar to the NBA. The NHL can also use an increased TV/media presence as a growth driver. Currently, the league’s television rights are significantly below its major competitors, particularly within the United States.…
