Sports marketer says getting fans back to NHL not going to be easy

A Vancouver sports marketer says the NHL is going to have a lot of fences to mend with fans if and when play resumes.

Yesterday's NHL talks bombed and the season has flat-lined once again.

Tatsuya Nakagawa of Atomica Sports Marketing says hockey has been an easy sell in Canada but many fans are fed up with the endless back-and-forth negotiations.

Nakagawa says getting American fans to tune-in again will be even more difficult -- if not impossible.
