Beyond that, they intend to explore “additional gaming activations locally around other popular titles.” The Blues plan to be involved, along with Maryville’s Gateway Esports Association, to present more NHL 20 competitions. This is not a one-time foray into this arena just to drum up good will. However, beyond these tournaments, I won’t deny that for some reason I have reservations about the Blues getting involved in e-sports. As a goalie, I have tried the goaltender controls and it is simply not for everyone. It will be a team format comprising teams of at least six, which presumably means someone will have the dreaded duty of playing in goal. Still, the high school tournament sounds intriguing. Lag and speed may affect sports games slightly less than a shooter, but it can still make the difference between a defender making a hit or getting a stick out and a goal. Also, if someone is wanting to play, but lives farther away, they are at a disadvantage. In a time when a large percentage of the workforce is working from home and putting a strain on the bandwidth, it seems an odd time to put even more load on. The only main gripe is online formats give distinct advantages to those with better internet connections. On the surface, these things seem fine and should be a blast for those involved. There will be no central meeting place to play.

Maryville currently has one of the better sports management programs in the country and tout a 93% job placement rate. The Blues will be partnering with Maryville University in this venture, which is smart. The Blues will actually be organizing a tournament and also a gaming division. We are not talking about the simulated games that have been brought to you on the team’s social media and covered here as well. They are going to be organizing and getting involved with E-sports. Louis Blues will be dipping their toes in ventures outside of a hockey rink in the very near future. Despite empty offices, however, they have still managed to get things done in the community. Louis Blues don’t have much to do with the 2019-20 season on hold.
