The Pat's are a young and upcoming team, they won't win all there games. They may have been intimidated by the large crowd, 3300 fans 12,000 empty seats. Why is the NHL not moving to this hockey mad market?

Great point. Lots of teams get 15000 fans for junior hockey. Maybe Regina should have built an 80000 seat stadium for their bush league football team and have 3/4 of it sit empty.

Attendance is low right across the board and if the WHL does not recognize this very soon they will be in big trouble. Regina and Saskatoon average per game attendance is very similar neither one is blowing each other out of the park in attendance if this is where this discussion is going. Both average approx. 4000 per game.
