Especially when compared to a Bulls game. But in comparison, you are watching the best hockey players in the world when you watch the NHL. The intent of the article was to give the players and the franchise a bit more recognition for what they do in the community. Like Wayne posted, I don't think many people are aware of it. But, I don't think they want to be coddled..*L* Wayne, thanks for the shout out! It is bit expensive to attend a game, no doubt. Especially when compared to a Bulls game.

But it's not really fair to compare the ticket prices of a minor league baseball team to that of an NHL team. It would be more fair to compare them to, say, the cost of a Bobcats game. I, too, wish that minor league hockey was still nearby. :) @JasonR Ok, we can disagree over whether the players/franchise are being paid enough attention.

As for prices.. Cost for a family of 3 to go see the Durham Bulls play? vs cost of a family of 3 to go see the Cains play? I much preferred the Minor league hockey experience when it was in Raleigh to the 'Cains experience. -Jason @TJ The original blog post was about how we and the Media aren’t paying them enough attention.. aren’t caring enough..

But, the owner is rich; he can afford the loss. 3) Have you ever compared the ticket prices to other professional sports? @JasonR 1) How are they being coddled? 2) The Canes have made money only once since they’ve been here.

Their impact on this community has been immeasurable, be it through economic impact, community outreach, and the growth of youth hockey in the area. The greatest thing about supporting the team is that the players are down-to-earth and approachable. These are the typical egotistical athletes you see in many other sports.

The Canes being here is a positive thing, helping the area grow and prosper. Chances are, if they canes were not here, I would have considered moving long ago.
