you can't really make the claim of highest attendance in the CHL without a massive disclaimer...which is that most teams arena's don't hold more than 10k to begin with.

now if you wanna use the term highest pct of capacity then maybe that argument has merit

It doesn't change the fact that they draw almost as much as the Coyotes which tells me hockey isn't working in Phoenix and it won't anytime soon.

Saskatoon is closer to 15,000. Too bad the Blades are stinking it up and fans don't give a fiddler's **** about them. Too bad.

Move the Coyotes. Fuuuuuuuuuuck, I'm so sick of hearing about it already. Quebec can support it.

Does anyone know if Bettman can skate?!

He was talking about Quebec and the QMJHL. Since Lewiston is not anymore around the QMJHL has no american team and probably no american flags around. In Quebec nontheless the are probably more Quebec-flags then canadian flags in the stadium.

Things probably wouldn't be half bad if the arena was in a decent location.

That's 6 more than I see on TV at Coyotes games.

1 and 3 are the same so you may want to change it with ruin hockey as one of the 3.
