    Exactly. I mean Basketball will be the only famous one.

    American Football: Wont make it. The league will have 90% American Rejects. The Indians they have are not physically ready. They only have one stadium. Pune FC will most likely sue them if they use the Balewadi Stadium. Fans will like Football and Rugby more than American Football.

    Baseball: We already have cricket which can not be beaten by any sport and another bat and ball sport wont make it here. May have its fans here but a local league wont work.

    Ice Hockey: Do I need to explain. Wont make it.

    @Jitinjoseph I follow the New Jersey Devils. There my local team and I have been to a lot of there games. They are in 10th place in the league (6th in the Eastern Conference).

    As for information, well the league is based on franchises. Technically I think we could have a few teams in South India to even though they are hot as we have a lot of teams in the south of America where it barely snows and usually its 90 degrees all year. The league is based on conferences, so you have 30 teams in the whole league split into 2 conferences (East and West) with 15 teams in each. Every team plays each other (how many times is different per team) and at the end the top 8 teams from the conferences go on into the play-offs.

    The play-off bracket is 7 games maximum long, first team to win 4 games goes on into the next round (by that I mean two teams play each other in 7 separate games). Your opponent is based off where you were in the conference table. So 1st place in the East plays 8th place in the East and so on (2nd vs 7th, 3rd vs 6th etc.)

    Then after that the winners of the last round move on to the conference semifinals where it is again a best of 7 series. So basically winner of the 1st vs 8th game vs 4th vs 5th game winner and so on. The after that it is the conference final where the winner becomes the champion of the west or east. Again it is a best of 7 series. Then after that they go onto the final round were it is the Eastern Champions vs the Western Champions and they play out a best of 7 series. Home advantage (the team that gets more home games out of the 7 games) is determined from the All-Star game which takes place at the half way mark of the regular season where the best players in the East take on the best players in the West in a one-off game. The winner of the Final becomes NHL champions.

    For more info see the wikipedia for the 2010-11 NHL Season... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2010–11_NHL_season

    Glad your into the sport.
