Ya , isn't junior hockey great ? I have season tickets to the
Vancouver Giants ( WHL ) this year and it has been fantastic . Works
out to be about $15 a ticket for prime seats , no clutching , grabbing
, obstruction ,holdouts , checking bankbooks in between shifts etc
,and the kids go hard every shift for the dream to one day make the
big league . I believe the Giants attendance is up 70 % this year .

NHL (a bit) and fear the league is on the edge of a knife. There will
be less than 30 teams when they come back (IMO).
