    I don't know how much it costs back where you are, but here the average price for a game ticket is around 75$. The games are always sold-out. ALWAYS.

    About the same, so I guess I'm less Canadian then you are. :laugh:

      Being Canadian, it is clearly in my veins. I watch every single match of my beloved home team (Montreal) and I play at least once a week. How many of you out there like it as much (or not as much)? Any software dev who's also a hockey fan?

      2 - At least it's not Golf or Baseball. :zzz:

      Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint.

        I heard if you buy a hockey ticket in Phoenix, they give you a meal combo, some Coyotes props and a key to the city. All that for 19 dollars. :)

        Maybe, but still not worth it. We do go to some Diamondbacks games with the meal combo though ($17?).

              Yeah they've got such a hockey machine this year. 2nd place overall in the NHL at the moment I think. Great team.

                Never played but love watching the BlackHawks. Patrick Kane is freaking unbelievable - TV cannot do him justice.

                  I'd like to watch one of those, are they shown on TV or available on a webcast or something?

                  Not that I know of no, it's not that big for anyone to care about covering it aside from the local paper :) My local is the Peterborough Phantoms.

                    When my older boys played baseball, I watched baseball. When the middle boys played ice hockey (insert sounds of money black hole sucking my wallet dry), I watched hockey. Now that most are older and no one is much playing anything, its hard for me to justify attending ANY professional sporting match - the prices are stupid silly, and I'd rather go sailing.
