The easy answer to this topic is that Prince George is a band-wagon town. When the team(s) do well, the box office does well. All one has to do is look at the total number of people that have watched live hockey on any given night in PG. The Cougars, optimisically, have 2400 tickets sold (not butts in the seats but ticket sold) and the Spruce Kings have averaged under 500 for their home games. All told, you would be hard pressed to have 3000 hockey fans watching hockey in PG.
Looking at last season, in the playoffs the Cats were close to being sold out for a number of the games, especially in the second round. The Kings, while not doing as well, were selling 1200-1500 per playoff game. That says to me, this is in fact a bandwagon town. Sad to say it, but it is.
IF the management would make a concerted effort to ice a consistant product on the ice, the fans may have a more consistant showing as well. Mr. Brodsky.....if you support us fans, we will (most likely) support your team. Maybe not you, but your team.
I understand this is a rebuilding year, but come on boys!!
