They draw 3000 fans in a league where half the teams don't even draw 300.

I went and looked up the ticket prices at both Lakehead and Abbotsford. Lakehead single game adult ticket is $12, students $6. In Abbotsford a single game ticket varies between $15.50 and $38.50. Not sure if Thunder Bay would be willing to pay for the increase.
