What do you want to read?
I want to write my first article so that it appeals to a general reader no only a target audience. The topic is young professional hockey playes playing in Northern California. Since most people arent normally interested in this topic, what might make you interested or catch your attention? The writing must appeal to more than just fans of the sport. any suggestions?

maybe give some background info on the subject. for example, the history of the sport, specifically as it pertains to northern california. personally, when i think of hockey i think of our neighbors to the north. is that where it originated? if not, dispel the myth. if so, how did it gain an audience of people eager to play in northern california? if the sport isn't particularly popular in these parts, find out what drives these hockey players to play despite little interest in the sport (when compared to the baseball / basketball / football craze in nor cal)
Are you writing specifically about the sport or a few players? If you can find some players to profile, then maybe you can get some really "sexy" fodder that would appeal to more than just the hockey crowd.
Think of the Olympics and whenever they profile a player and do that 5-minute, completely sappy vignette. Those are really fascinating, despite always being the same, but people really eat those up.
