LET THE OWNERS KNOW HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT THE LOCKOUT!

In an article this past week regarding the lockout, MSG Network and Foxsports.com hockey columnist Stan Fischler reported disgruntled hockey fans were yelling at former Florida Panthers forward Bill Lindsay to "get back to work" during an OSHL game.

I followed up on Mr. Fischler's comments by noting that hockey players are easy targets for the fans frustration, considering their high profile and visibility, while the owners, who deserve their fair share of the blame for this situation, are unrecognizable to most hockey fans.

So, in the interest of fairness, I'm posting up the photos of some of the owners and members of the NHL Board of Governors , as well as links to all 30 teams' websites where you can contact them to let them know your feelings about the lockout. Note that some teams have more than one owner, in which case either the most well known will be posted, or the team CEO.
