The atmosphere is so bad. It's astounding to me that the league seems to care so little for its fans. Like why are there no supporters clubs? Why have we had two lockouts with next to nothing for the fans coming out of them? I look at the Premiership and things those clubs do for their fans and its miles ahead of what we have here. The just take it for granted that we should build them arenas and fill it up 41 times a season.

I went to a game in Germany two years ago, and it was such a great fan experience. People signing, chanting, dancing, flag waving for the entire game. The team skated around the arena at the end of the game for 5 minutes, thanking every section. We could learn a great deal from them.
