Hi Paul, I have been meaning to ask this question (but fear that I would be suspended for the topic). The NHL has done a great job in bringing the game to minority kids. I often wonder why we have not seen in increase in minority referees? With the cost of the game so high, it would seem like refereeing would be a natural avenue for younger kids to get into (just need a pair of skates and some ice time, not have to buy all the other equipment). Paul,will we see an increase in minority officials in all levels of hockey?

- Paul Stewart

is it wise to raise money for an expensive sport by holding a fundraising involving another expensive sport?

why post this the same day as the golf fundraiser instead of a couple of days or weeks beforehand??

How do you feel about Donald Trump having the Trump Lasker Ice Skating Rink in Central park for the Harlem Ice Hockey

Definitely a fair question. I would like to see it happen.
