    Attendance seems to be a topic for all sports these days. People can watch all the action from their couches on the big screen and avoid the hassle of actually dealing with live people. WTOP excellent broadcasts actually promote this trend. I have always said--these are the students games--so show up snowflake. Those 4 years are here and soon gone, skippy. Oswego has 8K undergrads? Pack the rink every home game and then head downtown and get blasted. Perfect evening. As for Townies/Season ticket holders--DONATE your tickets to youth hockey, etc. if you dont use them. Dont let them go to waste. You want a winning team? Show up, get loud.
    I'm guessing that Tinder, Instagram, et al, just offer young people too many better options than going to a hockey game on a Friday night. (Hell, if I could have hooked-up so easily back in the day, I would never have seen the inside of a rink... And I'd have **ed myself to death by age 20.)

    As far as the older crew goes, 7 PM starts are getting more difficult to deal-with... It's already dark by then, there might be an inch of snow predicted, and the game knee is acting-up. Maybe we should just stream this thing at home, with our jammies on..? (And while I'm at it: Get offa my lawn!)

    Perhaps live, in-person sports are on the way out, especially at the small-time level. Too many options are available for all ages.

        In order to survive Romney you needed some liquid heat, haha. The same was true for playing Hobart many a years ago.

            Hey kiddo- we're pushing 70 and we're there for every game- right under the pressbox. We're there at 6:30 for warmups, and we don't leave until after we salute the team and hear the three stars.

            And then Sunday night I suit up for oldtimers hockey. Harumph.

                          So they line up outside the building prior to 2:00...

                              I was on the waiting list when they were at Shea. When they moved to the larger Giants Stadium, I moved up enough to get them.
