As for the CHL, my hope is that the atmosphere is fun more than anything. Tix start at like $12, so it's an easy thing to get into going frequently if it's fun. And at least they're now an Avs affiliate, so there's a remote chance I might eventually see one of the guys play in the big league.
Oh, and Kyle Quincy is playing for them during the lockout. That should be interesting to watch. Hope he doesn't get his head knocked off.

The affiliate thing is cool... the MO Mavs, who are also in the CHL, are affiliates with the Chicago Wolves, and they're affiliated with the Canucks. Boo.
When I went to a MO Mavs game a couple of years ago, the Mavs turned the opening faceoff win into a 2 on 0, and the pass across the crease went off the guy's stick and they didn't even get a shot on net.
But, it's in a small arena that only fits like 5-6,000 people, so it was a good atmosphere. And like you said, it's cheap.
