Phoneix Coyotes real attendence numbers!

Thursday, June 4th, 2009

This is a great piece of information relating to the possible move of the Phoneix Coyotes to Hamilton.

James Mirtle wrote a nice post showing that the ‘coyoes only had 11K people go through the turnstiles, on average, every night. That is over 3K less then they announce at actual games…

Read the ‘good news’ from his post…

The good news? A lot of those tickets that weren’t used were at least paid for (this season anyway). Paid attendance figures are actually up significantly from where they were in the first season after the lockout, when the team apparently sold just 11,340 per game and yet announced attendance of 15,570.

Paid tickets went up this year? Something fishy about this…

Mr. Suck what else aren’t you telling the NHL fans…are the $200 a seat tickets in Toronto subsidizing the ‘coyote?

Gretzky can’t save us this time.

Lots of people have emailed to ask me to start a petition. The petition would ask Wayne Gretzky to help solve the labour dispute. I didn’t put anything up on the site because this isn’t Gretzky’s fight. He has done a lot for hockey but I wouldn’t ask a man with a his integrity to deal with someone like Gary ‘Mr. Suck’ Bettman.

And beside you can read here why he doesn’t want the job.

Bettman probably couldn’t even understand Gretzky, imagine a student of the game like Gretzky talking to the Bettman, the destructor of hockey.
