NHL fans are more diehard, this a known fact
1. nhl tickets are much much much cheaper than nba in most cities
2. example there may be only 25,000 tampa bay lighting fans in the whole state of florida but 16-18k of them will go to games,

Throughout the 2013-14 season, 15 NHL markets have averaged at least 100 percent capacity in their home stands: The Detroit Red Wings, Chicago Blackhawks, Montreal Canadiens, Philadelphia Flyers, Toronto Maple Leafs, Calgary Flames, Vancouver Canucks, Pittsburgh Penguins, Washington Capitals, Minnesota Wild, Los Angeles Kings, New York Rangers, Boston Bruins, San Jose Sharks and Winnipeg Jets.

Original 6 and Philadelphia, Dallas, etc fluctuate the numbers. In Phoenix you can get front row seats to Coyotes games for less then 10 dollars.
i said in most cities
7 cdn teams have high ticket prices because they are always sold out
you can go to many nhl games for little of nothing
funny how the article doesnt bring up pittsburgh penguins almost bankrupt like 7 years ago
or how phoenix coyotes was sold for like 120 million dollars
or atlanta thrashers having to move to winnipeg
or nhl franchises on average are not een worth half of the lowest valuable nba franchise
or the tiny tv deal they have with nbc
breh in the past 3 yeasr
atlanta would have gone bankrupt if they wren sold to chipman
new jersey devils almost bankrupt
phoenix coyotes couldt find a owner
dallas stars almost went bankrupt
thats 4 teams right there
tampa n florida tickets are dirt cheap
buffalo tickets dirt cheap
i love the nhl but its a joke
its like saying college football has a higher attendance than the nfl which many teams do, alabama always sells out while a team like buffalo bills doesnt

I'm saying, NHL is always on a bubble, and then it locks out. Maybe that's why they have no traction.

NHL is so much more watchable in person than it is on TV, compared to the NBA and watching it at the bar. Also Canadian teams are responsible for the majority of the games being sold out. Canadians and Leafs are like the Yankees and Red soxs of the NHL except without the actual winning 
Celtics: Average 17,825
Bruins: Average 17,565
ruins are 100%; Celtics are 95.7%

5/7 tams mentioned for sellouts are canadians
the only other 2 are the ottawa senators with a arena in the middle of nowhere, and the garbage deadmonton oilers
btw the 7 cdn teams make up 40% of all nhl revenue
