Apparently the attendance has been pretty bad too." I went to one game (the first Canada-Soviet game) and I didn't care much for the $23.25 I had to pay for a corner seat in the upper section. These were about the cheapest tickets available (red seats went for a minimum of $30). Generally the tickets are at least $10 more expensive than what we would pay to watch the Oilers (which already have one of the most expensive tickets in the NHL), and for many of us that is too much to pay. It seems ridiculous to pay $10 extra to watch Team Canada, which isn't as good as the Oilers, which we can watch 40 times a year. Robert Lake (alberta!lake) University of Alberta
