Attendance record broken

The Mooseheads have beaten their own attendance record this season. The past record, which was set in the 1999-2000 season, was an average 8,453 fans a night. With 7 sellouts and another two nights of over 10,000 fans, Halifax has averaged 8,686 hockey gurus a game this season. With the Metro Centre being host to the CHL/NHL top prospects game this year, the sellout on that night January 16 was not included in the average attendance.

Last season's average attendance was 6,608. A jump from the 2010-11 season and the first season in four years to not have declined.

Here is a look at the average attendance for the other 18 seasons that the Herd have played:
2011-12 ~ 6,608
2010-11 ~ 5,331
2009-10 ~ 5,506
2008-09 ~ 6,684
2007-08 ~ 7,556
2006-07 ~ 7,340
2005-06 ~ 7,720
2004-05 ~ 7,816
2003-04 ~ 7,601
2002-03 ~ 7,601
2001-02 ~ 7,421
2000-01 ~ 7,411
1999-00 ~ 8,453
1998-99 ~ 7,862
1997-98 ~ 6,428
1996-97 ~ 5,361

Lets see if we can get it even higher during the playoffs and help our team to victory and all the way to the Memorial Cup.
