I thought Mike McKenna sounded familiar, he was in the Coyotes organization for a year.

Looks like Garland is still a total puck hog, but he's not making stupid mistakes as often.

If anybody else wants to watch, PM me because I have a link.

 

[Muppet]

Looks like the stream went down. Hopefully it gets fixed. Texas just dominating the second period though.

I know it's minor league hockey but they're shouldn't be any empty seats for the playoff games. I hope all of the seats will be filled for the rest of the playoffs.

Isn't the capacity of that arena something like 10,000? That's asking a lot from a city like Tucson (or Phoenix, for that matter).

Seating capacity is just shy of 7,000 for hockey.

What is typical attendance of AHL games/playoff games.

 

[Lilhoody]

If I were involved in PR for either organization, I would suggest a ticket bundle involving a seat, a beer (or 4) and a bus ride from the N/W. Valley, E. Valley and perhaps Northern AZ to the TCC.

What is typical attendance of AHL games/playoff games.

Varies from market to market.

Thanks Mosby! So about 3k more than regular season and in the topish in the league during playoffs, excluding some of those more well established teams that are in more traditional hickey cities. Not bad for year 2 of the franchise but agreed that it would be nice to see the place full.

Any chance Burke suits up? I would like to see how he does.
