Steve Scebelo gets paid to promote NHL players to the masses, and even he admits the league has a problem.

“When you go into any sports bar, you have sports fans, and they can't tell you who the top hockey players are,” said Scebelo, the chief commercial officer of the NHL Players’ Association. “We need to change that.”

This is kind of a shot in the dark but I’ll ask anyways. My grandpa is on the left here, and Bobby Orr is beside him. The picture was taken in roughly 1983/84 during some event in Alberta. Does anybody know anything regarding whatever event this was? Just curious about what was going on here. Any ideas are welcome. Thank you

Now that this type of data exists , should it be something that is takin into consideration when making the schedule ?

Should a first place team get rewarded and have the easiest schedule ? Or the hardest schedule ?

Is this data skewed by only 1-2 games and really it’s not that important.

Is it solely based on who’s in what division?
