    Default Average college hockey attendance down 40% because the big10 SUCKS

    As a former annual attendee of the WCHA Final Five in St. Paul, this angers me. The weekend was flat in both arenas. We used to pack the X to the gills with fans from all over the region. Now we stare at empty seats.

    Idiots decided to mess with a good thing and are paying the price. It better grow of college hockey like they said it would or else it's a complete waste.

    Did they increase ticket prices or something?

    I think it may have to do with conference realignment and loss of historical rivalries. New conferences have been formed this season, NCHC and Big10.
    I don't follow the NCAA as much as I used to when my kids played but I think there have been some new schools added to DI as well.
    That's my guess anyway.

    Looks like the WCHA has a lot of new teams by the map and chart below.
