When the Salvation bells in front of Stop and Shop are a ringin’, you can’t get Mariah Carey’s ‘All I Want For Christmas’ out of your head, and family members you didn’t even know existed come out of hiding for one of the many large meals you stuff yourself with, you know that the holiday season has arrived.

The numbers don’t lie. Baseball is losing popularity, and losing it fast. Attendance numbers have declined rapidly across the league and the World Series is losing viewers fast. In addition, since 1995, little league participation has decreased by 4 million. So, with that in mind, how does baseball reverse the trend and increase it’s popularity? I proposed five ways to improve Major League Baseball.

This week, Armchair Athlete’s focus is the upcoming season for girl’s ice hockey. The girls dominated last year, posting a 24-1 record, going 14-0 in their league, and outscoring their opponents by 97 goals and scoring at least six goals in sixteen of their twenty-five games. To cap off the season, they won both State and FCIAC Championships, each by at least five goals, and made it was clear that they were the team to beat coming into this new season. Now captained all FCIAC first-team members Olivia Hompe, and Madzie Caroll, and seniors Kellianne Hickey and Molly Robustelli, the girls are poised to have yet another fantastic season.
