The NHLFA was established in 1998 to give average hockey fans across North America a way to express their views on the NHL. We all recognize that hockey today is first, big business and second, sport. It's the fans who keep this business afloat. But of all the interest groups involved in hockey, fans are generally at the bottom of the pecking order, while paying top dollar at the ticket office, the concession booth and the souvenir store.
The National Hockey League and owners have Gary Bettman as their representative; the players have Don Fehr, Executive Director of the NHLPA; the fans have very little representation. The NHLFA aims to change that and to give fans a voice in the future of the NHL.
After more than ten years in operation, we continue to pursue corporate sponsors to defray costs, to keep membership free and to allow us to expand our Association. Please consider joining our team (click the Registration link on the left navigation menu) and please help spread the word about the NHLFA to your friends and family.
