My personal opinion is that Major Jr. Hockey is excellent entertainment and value for the money.
I am a Flames fan and attend a lot of games at the Dome and away so I personally get my fix in for hockey. Depending on your budget and how often you get to go to the rink to see hockey in person I suspect the value will be quite good and will make for some decent quality hockey.
Another benefit for games that you may not be able to attend would be the donation to local charities, youth centers etc. I am not an expert on US income tax laws but I suspect a tax deduction would be in order for the face value of the tickets in the event you can't attend every game personally. This rate I believe in Canada is 15% In Canada in order to provide financial incentive for people to donate to political parties and events we offer a 75% income tax credit for political donations up to a prescribed max value.
All in all I think being a season ticket holder to a lower cost team like the WHL Silvertips has some good benefits and you can always decline the package next year if your not happy.
