For those that want to see these kids paid. How much more are you willing to pay for tickets to a CHL game? Knowing that the players on the ice are getting a fair pay check?
I'm not sure what attendance is like for most CHL markets, but here in Red Deer I notice a lot of seniors and kids at games compared to Flames games at the Dome. If players get paid, and ticket prices increase, the teams will lose these customers. If they don't have paying customers, how long till a bunch of teams fold and the major junior option isn't there anymore for player development?
I guess it's a small sacrifice to make in order to preserve workers rights. But probably not fair to the majority of players who have no problem with the current system and the majority of future players who would love to play under the current system some day.
