In the AHL there's only a couple of cities with a metro population close to Abbotsford's 170,000. St. John's has 197,000; Glen Falls has 128,774; Worcester has 181,000 but they are a suburb of Boston. All the other cities metro areas are above 500,000 with many above a million population.
It looks to me that Abbotsford has to rely on more tickets being sold to other areas in the Fraser Valley and Vancouver to make a go of it.
