There has been a ton of growth in that area

When Atlanta moved, youth hockey was up an insane amount
it's strong in dallas as well

it's odd that it has never translated into higher nhl numbers down here

you can get a ticket for a bolt game for $5
$10 for a playoff ticket

Depending on what the enrollment is at the youth level, in another generation that participation may translate into box office success at the NHL level as those kids become adults.

funny story for you hommie

2 years ago (bunch of my friends do an away game) we chose TB/FLA trip. NEver forget think it was 6 dollar tickets for the top row. Not thinking anything of it order a round of 4 beers.... was like 50 bucks the beer was almost double what we paid for in tickets my mouth dropped to the floor.

100% agree the season ticket holders for the long haul in some markets are about 18 right now. Give it 5-10 years these "kids" will get season tickets.

Anybody want to see Ruff as our newly appointed general manager in the summer? (i'm partially joking)

About as much as I want to see Jochen Hecht get a lifetime contract. I am kidding.

Pardy over McNabb ? Really ?

You know the first is a precursor to the 2nd

Put Hecht on Waivers and play Grigs.We suck any ways might as well let the kid skate.

REiger needs to go. He put this damn roster together. I don't care who the Coach is, this team BLOWS! We need a hockey guy to come and BLOW this damn thing up. Start by trading everyone of any value for draft picks and prospects.

Pardy over McNabb ? Really ?
- buffalo 1

McNabb is basically their captain down there now.... I think that the Amerks can lose Pardy and still stay focused on the playoffs.. but if McNabb is taken.. then the wheels might fall off...

imo.
