I don't know what the appeal is, but I noticed this when they played the Flames. Seemed like half the fans cheering for them were under 13yrs old, which was weird.

This is what happens when the local team does nothing and there's a shiny new toy out there. As a teenager, I remember being so disgusted with classmates and friends that suddenly became Avs fans in 1995. Or Devils fans. Guess what? In 2004, everyone forgot their shiny new toy and became Flames fans again. Our team needs to start winning. Or at least inspiring.
