Their first season was amazing and I thought things were turning around for Hartford Hockey, but it didn't last long at all. They sold out a few a games over the first few years but they haven't did sellout one game this season. The only games that had over about 6,000 people were the ones that tickets were only $10. It's not a good sign when attendance drops by almost 1,400 people per game in just four years. 2014-15 - 5,396 2015-16 - 5,129 2016-17 - 4,379 2017-18 - 4,066 That's not going to happen just for the fact that UConn hockey only plays 17 games and their not the primary tenant of the XL Center. Also, UConn plays a lot of weekday games , so that means there's less chance that would need to have first pick. The only dates UConn can request control of are the dates of their potential Hockey East Tournament games. Other than that the Wolf Pack will always have first choice of dates at the XL Center.
