PromoTheRobot Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 When I first moved here, Manchester was a rundown shell of a city. Today we host the AHL All-Star game. The combination of a major airport expansion, a new 10,000 arena, and a new 6,000 baseball park have turned this place into one of the hot U.S. cities. The Manchester Monarchs are also minor hockey's top franchise in attendance (9,100 avg.) Catch the game live on ESPN tonight. PTR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CircleTheWagons Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 The Manchester Monarchs are also minor hockey's top franchise in attendance (9,100 avg.) 238824[/snapback] Good news for the Monarchs, but I have to ask where you got the stat that they lead in attendance? Just defending the home team This link showed that the Calgary Hitmen (WHL) lead all North American hockey teams in attendance at the end of January - and they have had a couple of home games since with 10000+.

Greg de'Ville Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 ...saw some of the skills competition last night. That is a nice arena. Could be neck & neck between the Amerks and the Monarchs for home ice throughout the Calder Cup playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
