Hmmm interesting...
Almost like 25 years of ever higher prices reduced the affordability of games for families. So fewer familes at the games, and as a result, fewer kids. And now those kids who missed out on experiencing the NHL live have become adults have few emotional ties to the teams and thus feel little impetus to buy season tickets or game packs. And as a result, there's a lot of empty seats.
Almost like the NHL is kill the golden goose by trying to maximize short-term profits rather than long-term profits.
