Really? Where on earth are you finding free IceCaps tickets my friend? I've been on all the sites around here and people are selling them. Not free, The ahl is different as well. Th average family cannot afford to go to Weds, Friday and Saturday night. Saturday the stadium was full, weds was about 90 percent.
no problem to get free tickets, I was given tickets to Friday and Saturday games this past weekend. lots of empty seats Friday, and the entire 2 rows in front of me were empty Saturday night. oil company seats. they're often empty, but of course are paid for, so that's all that counts.
That's why there national broadcasted, you're saying nobody cares about the AHL. Nobody cares about the parent teams pipeline and future.
yeah, they bury the odd ahl game on sportsnet one or sportsnet 360. its never on the national hockey radar. nobody really knows the ahl exists. major junior has a much higher national media profile.
4 ahl teams in the Canada, two of which are tucked away on the extreme opposite ends of the country, and the other two in the gta where nobody knows they exist.
my main point here is about those in and around thunder bay saying they'll go watch the pipeline of jets prospects. we heard the same thing from leafs fans when the marlies were going to Toronto. everyone couldn't wait to go to the games and pretend to be scouts. but we saw it doesn't work that way. you might go to a game or two to see a specific player, but that gets old in a hurry. it sounds nice in theory, and its easy to say you'll go watch the few prospects on the team, but you quickly realize its not nearly as exciting as it sounds.
Personally, I'm starting to believe you just don't like Danny Williams.
I love danny. he's making a pile of money off this team.
