The Golden Ticket



The dream of many a hockey fan is to own seasons tickets to their favorite team. But, depending on where you live, that dream may be a close reality, or about as likely as the Stanley Cup banner making it's way to the Air Canada Center anytime soon.

It was funny to see that Florida offers Season Tickets for $387 when season tickets to my local Junior Hockey Team start at $486 and there is 10 less games. Also, nice to see Pittsburgh adopting the Toronto/Vancouver "if you have to ask, it's too expensive" motto. Weren't they moving to Kansas City a few years ago? Ah, How quickly we forget.
