The Sports Business Journal published a story today about the NHL’s financial resurgence. The story read, in part:

“The league’s revenue rose 11 percent to $64.66 million over the same period. (from the 2006 to 2007 fiscal year). … Licensing surpassed pre-lockout levels of $4.04 million for the first time, hitting $4.3 million, and playoff assessments hit an all-time high of $6.09 million for fiscal 2007. Savings and cash investments added another $3.5 million to the league’s coffers. Those numbers represent only NHL revenue. Additional revenue from NHL Enterprises and member clubs pushed overall league revenue to $2.3 billion over roughly the same period.”

Meanwhile, a certain hockey team in Los Angeles is losing more money than ever. No wonder they don’t want to talk about it anymore…
