This was becoming an issue before the pandemic. Over the last 20 years the NHL has quickly priced out the fans it really needs to stay relevant - young families. With most arenas removing cheap seats in favor of luxury seating/suites and the continual price hikes on tickets, teams are setting themselves up for a situation where attendance will plunge when the fairweather fans and business people who have big wallets stop watching a mediocre team.
