I like to look in and listen live sometimes, to the London Knights. I used to live in London. They're leading their division in the OHL this year. Lots of support for them in London for three reasons. A new arena downtown (old one was way out by the highway... and old)... they're leading the division... and the NHL strike.

Winning works wonders for fan support.


Certain NHL franchises don't understand that.

Agreed. However the Knights have a strong history of winning... I think the biggest impact to increased attendance comes from the other two factors.

It's now the only pro hockey around and going downtown to a game is a whack of a lot better than going out south of the highway behind the SuperStore.

Good point, Jed. Location of an arena is important.
