[edit] Red Wings

The Detroit Red Wings are the center of an advertising campaign called Hockeytown. This article should make light of that.

[edit] Minnesota/Michigan

This article -- which has transformed into a Twin Cities/Minnesota vs. Detroit/Michigan war -- is in dire need of clean-up. IMO, it should follow the Detroit Red Wings "Hockeytown, USA" (and be renamed as such) marketing campaign (wasn't the the original purpose of this article, anyway??). I agree a link to Warroad, MN (the original "hockeytown") should be added. Perhaps a note adhering to Minnesota hockey fans taking exception to Detroit's campaign should be added, but that should not be the focus of this article. (Especially since it leads to factual inaccuracies... for example, the Twin Cities were never directly or indirectly referred to specificially as "Hockeytown," except in response to the Red Wings campaign, although this article suggests otherwise...) [This comment was added by me, PNS2CLT... this is my first "discussion" and I wasn't sure how to add a comment under my user name so excuse the informalness.]

[edit] Trademark

I'm going to add a sentance about how Hockeytown is a registered trademark. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.241.138.29 (talk) 23:21, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Canada

Isn't there a CBC Competition that names a "Hockeytown" in Canada every year? 70.51.9.216 (talk) 09:33, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
