"The total is not for broadcast alone, as it does include 1.7 million streaming viewers and an additional 650,000 from the Spanish-language simulcast on Fox Deportes"
"the game climbed to tie the second-most-watched Super Bowl ever for an average 113.7 million viewers"

"The most-watched game this season across any network was the Christmas NBA Finals rematch between the Golden State Warriors and Cleveland Cavaliers on ABC. It averaged 11,160,000 viewers"
"ESPN televised its most-watched (non-Christmas) regular-season game in more than two years, since 2014, when the Golden State Warriors set the NBA record for most wins in a season against the Memphis Grizzlies (April 13, 2016: 3,649,000 viewers, p2+)"

Murray, Joshua. "Top 10 Reasons Hockey Isn't More Popular in the USA." TheSportster. N.p., 23 June 2015. Web. 27 Feb. 2017.
The main reason for my speech is to show and express how hockey is not as important to American sport fans as a sport like football, basketball or baseball is so the reason for this website is to provide me with reasons why hockey is not as appreciated
"In Canada though, hockey is king and part of its national identity but in the U.S. it’s often an afterthought in many markets. The NHL has been trying to expand its popularity for years and has seen some gains but still struggles in many of its markets"
"Even in hockey’s peak months of May and June, as we get closer to deciding the Stanley Cup winner, hockey coverage is constantly superseded in the U.S by NFL coverage, be it the draft fallout or offseason storylines, by the NBA playoffs and early season MLB stories all seem to push hockey aside"
