you would think that but often the prices of tickets are expensive in order to cover players salarys as well as the exchange rate. A player for a Canadian team makes money in American $$ while a Canadian team makes thir money in Canadian $$ which is only worth abour 60 cents American. so they have to raise the price of tickets. For instance the price of a standing room seat(oxymoron??) at a Leafs game is about 28$ Canadian---to actually sit it hovers around 35$ Canadian. And even when the small maret teams do sell out they generally fall short of the money the need to keep the team.
