"I think that someone being more agressive on the team's end might help matters. I don't know for sure, but is the team sending the articles over? Or making the call so the media knows about whatever events we're hosting at each individual game?
I do agree, though, that there's GOT to be someone there who doesn't care for hockey. I know we were to a point where we were calling daily to complain that the ECHL scores weren't in the paper. And that's like an AP strip or something with NHL,AHL, and ECHL on it. They had to be intentionally removing it."

The paper has always pretty much ran whatever the team has sent them. They seldom do anything in depth, though, and I really think that's due to the anti-hockey bias of one person in sports whose been there a long time. The thing about it is that ten years ago when they had a lot more people doing sports, he was just one voice in a meeting. Now he's 1/3 of the voices in a meeting, or some percentage like that. This guy has covered a few games over the past couple of years and done everything he can to trash the team and the organization in his game stories. If you do some detective work, I'm sure you can figure out who it is.
