Quote from: billhowardThree things jump out. Princeton stat has to be wrong. The place is lightly attended except for Harvard and Cornell. For Cornell to draw less than the average ... implausible.

Might average home attendance refer to seats sold, not occupied? Maybe fans buy a ticket package and are more likely to use them when Cornell or Q come to play.

Q draws draws on average 200 more than capacity and Cornell draws 300 more than that. Q does have a nice, wide walkway at the top of the rink that allows standing room without affecting people walking to concession stands, finding restrooms, etcetera, the etcetera probably including leaving early to get to the good parties.
Attendance figures are almost certainly ticket sales.  No one in sports announces turn stile totals anymore.  I remember years ago when I was writing up the box fscore for Cornell games I knew I could simply put in the 3836 capacity figure even for games over break when there were lots of empty seats.

Yes, that explains it.

Looking at USCHO's figures, Princeton was averaging in the 1500s for a while and then bumped up to 1800s last year and 2200s this year.

Would paid syncophants be more appropriate

Quote from: Jim HylaPrinceton attendance stats will take a tumble. 113 is announced attendance for tonights game.
That can't be right.  They must have dropped a digit.

I don't think it was 1/2 full, but I agree it seems like it was more than that. But regardless, it was awful.

An aggregate score of 2-8 over two games is, at the least, indicative of differences between the two sides.
