In 1982, the Rockies moved to East Rutherford, New Jersey becoming the New Jersey Devils (Devils NHL, 2015). The Devils were located at the Meadowlands Sport Complex for their first 25 years in East Rutherford, New Jersey, where they played their games at Brendan Byrne Arena. At the begging of the 2007-2008 season, the Devils moved their home to Newark, where they currently play at the Prudential Center.

In conclusion, the New Jersey Devils have been a strong and very successful sports franchise since they made the move to New Jersey. Being the only pro sports franchise that recognizes themselves as a New Jersey team they need to continue their growth. Last year the Devils operating expanse was positive, they need to continue this in order to be successful financially. The Devils locking up MSG until the 2023 season gives them long term security. Winning three Stanly Cup Finals and many division titles over the years has made them the successful organization they are

Having been tasked with developing and implementing a comprehensive marketing and promotional strategy for the Staten Island Yankees, the Class-A short season affiliate of Major League Baseball's famed New York Yankees, the first priority would be to conduct a thorough appraisal of the organization's current situation. Playing within the confines Richmond County Bank Ballpark, a 7,171-seat waterfront stadium on the northernmost tip of Staten Island, the team recorded a total attendance figure of 192,568 in the 2011 season. This figure means the average Staten Island Yankees game drew only 5,663 fans, or just 79% of the ballpark's capacity, which is unacceptable to say the least. Last season was even more disappointing in terms of local support for the team, and as the Staten Island Advance recently reported "Staten Island has seen an estimated 30 percent drop in reported attendance from a year ago, dipping to 3,934 fans per game through the first 22 home contests compared to 5,663 per game during the 2011 season" (Waggoner, 2012). After a 30-45 finish in last year's regular season, in conjunction with the MLB Yankees roster deterioration over the last offseason, it is reasonable to expect a decrease in attendance similar to the 30 per cent loss seen last year unless a concerted effort is made to revitalize fan support and rebuild the Staten Island Yankees brand. The following sales and promotional strategy report will

The Yankees plan on opening a Metro-North train stop right at the stadium so that fans from neighboring states can easily arrive and depart the game without dealing with the subway or the street traffic, which takes away from the hustle and bustle of the pregame street activities. This includes souvenir shops, food vendors etc. And finally, the most un-baseball related aspect of the new stadium on the list is the fact that Yankee Stadium will be open year round with clubs, restaurants, banquet rooms, conference rooms and business centers, and will host corporate outings, business meetings, bat mitzvahs, seminars and weddings (M.L.B. Advanced Media, “New Yankee Stadium Relocation Guide”).

For the first variable, result of the game, I put the outcomes in a table and also made a pie chart showing their frequency. There were four possible outcomes, win, loss, overtime loss, and shootout loss. The reason why I did this variable is because each result helps or hurts the team in some way. When the team gets a win in any way they get two points, when they lose in regulation, they get two points, and if they lose in either overtime or in a shootout they only get one point. Turns out the Albany Devils won over half of their first 30 games in 2016, with a total of 18 wins. They earn zero points in seven of the sampled games. In 17% of the sampled games they earn only one point per game. The team did not even have one overtime loss. The Albany Devils earned 41 of the possible 60 points up for grabs from January second to March thirteenth helping them make it into the Calder Cup Playoffs for the second time in the past three seasons.
There are many teams in the NHL, but there is only one team that is truly the best: the New York Rangers. The New York Rangers have consistently great records, very classy uniforms, a great location, and have won many championships. The New York Rangers over the 90 years they have existed, have had consistently great records that will not let their fans down. This season the Rangers are 39-19-2, and third in the Metropolitan. The Rangers have kept the same basic uniform design that they started with in the 1920s, and to this day it looks almost the same. Most NHL teams have changed their uniforms many times over, while only a select few have stuck to their original uniforms. The Rangers have the best location of all the NHL teams, located at
