The current political tension between the U.S. and Canada has the attention of NHL commissioner Gary Bettman.

I don’t think anyone is shedding a tear for sports franchises during this trade war.

Franchises? No. But it could easily raise prices that are already absurdly high and make it more difficult for fans to come and watch. It might not be something for everyone, but a lot of people, myself included, love hockey in Canada and support their local team.

It would suck to make the tickets more expensive and even make things difficult for the finances of a team which would force them to relocate or sell it. Who knows.

I know there are more important things, but I’m just saying how it is seen by people.
