If you need to make rules to stop foreign fans from taking up too many seats in your rink and have it impact atmosphere, then you are loser market. Stuff like that shouldn't need to be forced, it's not like we needed to stop selling to BC fans to ensure a almost primarily Flames vibe in the Dome in round 1.
I guess the only ones they hurt is themselves. Dropped demand for their own product means lower revenues for them, so a horrible business decision as well. Wonder if the are any laws of free market trade being broken there, probably not I guess.
