Gate profits are what drive hockey franchises, other than minimal sponsorships.

How is MLRH attendance this year? Who is drawing the best? What techniques are being used to get people through the turnstile?

Gate profits are not what drives our team. While we are in the PIHA and not MLRH I would be surprised if this was much different for most. We arn't poor by any means, maybe even one of the most solvent team out there, but we certainly don't live and die by our admissions. We consider it a success to break even with our game day costs vs ticket sales. Sponsors and other fundraising is key to our budget. I would suspect that this is the case with the teams that arn't owned by a rink and rent court time for games.
