Wondering out loud. Canadian dollar is tanking with dropping oil prices.

 

Soon $1.00 CA might soon be at $0.81 US

I wonder what this will do to league revenues. 3 of the top 5 revenue clubs are Canadian.

It means 2015 will be a good year to have a LOT of cap room and a free spending owner.

 

It also will be a chance to see if the league imposes any currency-exchange hedging on the member clubs. My guess is they don't or it is minimal.

It probably puts the breaks on any Canadian expansion thoughts for a while.

Hehe. I have never once heard of Nelson Mandela in an educational setting and I'm pretty educated. Something that isn't taught everywhere

 

Seems like I remember it being taught when I was in high school (in the early 90s), but I could be wrong. Apartheid was a "big deal" back then though, ending the same year I graduated.
