The president of the International Ice Hockey Federation says lowering ticket prices and boosting the number of French-speaking players on Canada's roster could help improve attendance at the 2017 world junior championship in Montreal.
"It's a big city," Rene Fasel told a news conference Tuesday, the final day of the 2016 tournament in Helsinki, Finland. "I disagree that maybe Montreal people are only there for les Canadiens. They love the game. I think the pricing of the tickets was an issue in Montreal. I think that they have to have a look on the prices and people will come."
Fasel was speaking on a panel with Finnish hockey federation president Kalervo Kummola and tournament chair Frank Gonzalez.

"Maybe there should be more French-speaking players on the Canadian team," Kummola said to Fasel within range of the microphones.

Sure if they are good enough.
