The whole entitlement/ownership of hockey thing annoys me, though I don't dwell on it. Just get pissed when I'm told we don't deserve a team.

I played lacrosse middle school through college club, and I love to spread the sport to the point I'm still active in coaching it and doing whatever I can to introduce others to it. Much like I've helped convert a lot of locals into Canes fans.

If you are a true fan of a sport you want others to enjoy it as much as you, not try to keep it to yourself.
As do I. I could point out that not long ago Chicago had pitiful attendance but the "elitists" would simply say "Oh they had bad ownership", well so did Atlanta and Phoenix and Florida and even Tampa Bay for a while. But no, they have to spin the conversation to fit their agenda.

Ha, I actually would love for more South Carolinians to get into the sport, and the team. We do represent both states after all.
