Way OT: 
With players on AHL rosters frequently moving up to the NHL and down to whichever lower-level league, even if tix were comped and I lived near Hartford I wouldn't go to more than a game or so a season at most. With plenty of televised NHL games, easy access to the City, Boston, even Newark, Philly, or DC and caring far more about UConn, Hartford or any AHL team, nyet! Beauties in the eye of the beholder, but it's really surprising to learn the [URL='http://www.hockeydb.com/nhl-attendance/att_graph_season.php?lid=AHL1941&sid=2019'][U]Wolfpack only draw under 3,700 per game[/U][/URL]. Yikes!

Further OT: General question to all hockey fans: Is the AHL still truly viewed as the world's 2nd ranked hockey league? North American hockey fan perspective alone or NHL coaches and scouts' opinions? Actual quality of play? Rosters with future or past NHL players? Despite challenges accessing KHL players or convincing some to relocate based on rising KHL comp, I thought coaches, scouts, etc increasingly viewed the KHL as #2.
