NHL stars don’t get chance to shine
When Gary Bettman eases into his million-dollar-a-year NHL commissioner’s job Feb. 1, one of his priorities will be to raise the profile of the Hague’s personalities the same way me National Basketball Association has so successfully done. Is it possible? Some experts have their doubts. Marty Blackman, the chairman of Blackman and Raber Co., a New York-based sports marketing firm, is one of them. The question was put to him: Can hockey players be made as marketable as their basketball counterparts? “The answer is no,” Blackman said. “Not a chance. Eric Lindros or no Eric Lindros.” You may be wondering why the fan is so adamant. “Start off with the two biggest stars of the sports as examples,” Blackman said. “In the NHL it’s Wayne Gretzky and in the NBA it’s Michael Jordan.

Don’t forget essentials when heading off to camp

But it is the only camp to feature instruction by all six members of hockey’s first family, the Sutter brothers. The Sutters, three of whom still play in the NHL (two are coaches, one is a scout), were born in Viking, Alta., about 110 miles from Sylvan Lake. Brian, Darryl, Duane, Brent, Ron and Rich Sutter each assist with instruction at Sylvan Lake Summer Hockey Camp. Rounding out the professional staff are San Jose Sharks Kelly Kisio and rookie Ray Whitney, Minnesota North Star Mark Tinordi, Buffalo’s Randy Moller, Ottawa’s Darcy Loewen and Tampa Bay’s Brian Bradley. “All our pros, especially the Sutters, are a draw,” said Graham…
