Ladies and gentlemen, your 2016 Quebec Nordiques!
That is how they should introduce them on opening night. Maybe people will get the hint.

They lose a ton of money, successful teams subsidize part of the loss, and the owner writes a cheque every year.

My Flames season tickets are only slightly higher than Hurricanes tickets.
Yet another reason I don't go to canes games.

I should say "face value of Lethbridge Hurricanes tickets is higher than that".
Because I rarely pay for Hurricanes tickets. I usually go for free.

Calm down everyone. It's just to make sure it's a pretty full building for opening night. Hockey isn't big on the radar here, so this is how they promote the team. It's just something you have to do here that isn't necessary in big hockey markets.
There are plenty of tickets sold all year long, and the building is full when teams like Montreal, Toronto, and the New York teams are visiting. They probably operate at a loss, but it's not nearly as bad as everyone makes it out to be.

According to Forbes they are operating at around a $20M loss every year. So I guess it depends on what your definition of "bad" is.

Don't forget, those tickets are U.S. dollars. In a few more months $10 U.S. will buy a house in Canada.

Make no mistake, Panthers attendance has been minuscule the past two seasons, like horribad. The building is full (ish) when those teams come because the arena is full of Leaf, Rangers and Habs fans.

Yes, I'm aware that's the reason, but it's also because Panthers fans sell their tickets to those fans because they can make a sizable profit. The exact same thing happens in hockey crazy Calgary and everyone complains about how many rival fans are in the building.
It doesn't matter who buys the tickets, as long as tickets are sold.

Sorry Cali, but I'm going to reserve judgement until Florida Flames Fan chimes in.

^I've tried to get a name change from the mods, but they refuse.
However, Flameswin gets a change to Jayswin in the blink of an eye.

The Panthers are definitely going to be the first team to relocate in the near future. Seattle should be ready by then. Unless a wild card like Milwaukee, Hartford, or Kansas City puts a serious bid.
