Champions haven't lost a game in regulation yet
Yahoo another Packed House to watch the Patsies and so many comments pouring in on this site. Must be Millions of Pats Fans in Regina.
Another good game by the boys. All the trades made a couple of years ago are starting to look real good. Too bad there was only 3500 people there.
Team is great! Weather is good. What is keeping fans away??? Is it the price? How does that compare with the other sask teams?
There are no fans because there is no marketing or advertising. Lots of workers hired with so little work getting done. They need someone, anyone, that knows anything about marketing……
I wonder how life at Sports Cuts is.
Tyler Wong's Charging another gutless hit from the side on a Pats forward with the intent to injure. After leaving his skates like a gutless wonder, all Wong received was a two minute penalty. WOW! Wong pulled the same crap in the playoffs last season and the league continues to let him get away with this until he hurts someone real bad. Complete stupidity on the officials part as Wong came cross ice,left his skates and took a head shot on the Pats player. How does he get away with this crap? Is it because of his name or what?… Read more »
Pats need someone in management that knows sports and knows marketing. Cliff Mapes (like him or hate him) was great at that. The current management staff has no sports background. The social media and marketing the Pats do is a joke. The price of tickets is way too high (I am still pissed my 9 yr old daughter pays the same price as I do now) – a pure cash grab to pay the high salaries of the suits that are not doing anything. Great product on the ice but poorly ran. You cant just throw money at a problem… Read more »
Here's a link to WHL attendance stats: http://stats.dubnetwork.ca/attendance
Remember that this is comparing only a few games in 2016-17 to entire season 2015-16, and I would think that as the season continues and CFL/NFL comes to an end the current seasons attendance will increase per game. I also assume the increased attendance (39%) in Edmonton may be the new arena?
I don't know why some people worry, or comment, so much on the attendance? IF you attend the home games you will see great entertainmet for a reasonbable price. Sure it is not "professional" like the CFL but well worth the money as are the Rams, Thunder, UfR Cougar, etc. games. I see very few comments, if any, about attendance at these sports events on this blog – why is that? The current Pats are a very good Team (no losses in regulation in 10 games), have moved from 8th to 5th in the overall Oct. 19th CHL rankings (http://chl.ca/)… Read more »
Pats are ranked #2 in Canada. There's your marketing people, give it a rest, ticket prices are cheap for the entertainment we're getting. This is a special team thanks to ownership bringing in professionals to run the team.
Fact: You will see more top level athletes in the WHL than the CFL. More players graduate from the WHL to NHL than CFL to NFL. Just saying.
Officiating was terrible throughout; Pee Wee Tier 3 at best. Seemed as if integrity has disappeared. The Stripes sure tried to tilt the ice against the boys.
Having said that Paddock had better get ahold of the penalty situation (even the phantom calls). 16 minors in two games is unacceptable and will soon bite them in the donkey..Lack of disciple and crappy officiating isn't a recipe for success….
Mr. Weppler great comment and observation. You make way to much sense for the trolls on this blog.
I agree with the Wong commentor. This little punk gets away with way too many questionable intent to injure plays!
