The NHL is set to begin the most important part of the regular season as the trade deadline approaches and marks the true beginning of the playoff race. It is the most exciting time in the regular season as teams look for their shot at the Stanley Cup. The competition is that much more when the playoff race begins as everyone knows the stakes have been raised. With the race coming close February becomes a positioning race as teams look to make improvements and get themselves in the right position before they start the playoff race already out of contention.

Hockey is Canada’s game and it always has been with more Canadians in the league than all other countries combined. They represent 54% of the league make-up in terms of nationalities with every other country representing the 46%. One nationality stands out among the non-Canadians though as the USA represents 20% of the league and that number continues to grow. Hockey in the FSA is growing and it continues to make headway despite a handful of teams having trouble staying alive.

This past week the Florida Panthers set a record that nobody wants to set, especially not a struggling franchise. They had an all-time low in attendance when they faced-off against the Ottawa Senators this week. As the teams came out on the ice for warm-ups there was a significant amount of empty seats. As the game began there was not a lot of change to the numbers with a total attendance of 7,311.
