   A bunch of years back, I remember reading that the NHL was looking to   
   expand into more of the US but they found that a lot of Americans   
   couldn't follow the puck so they started using bright orange pucks; I   
   think they even did some sort of primitive animation to show the   
   movement of the puck. It didn't really win over audiences as I   
   understand it. Yet new American hockey teams *did* get created so there   
   must be some niche markets for it.
