Just 5% of U.S. residents watch professional hockey at least a good amount, and 14% say they catch a game occasionally. 81%, on the other hand, report not watching the sport at all.

One of the reasons, I think, is that the pro hockey season is just so long. The best season that there ever was came a few years back when the players came back and they only had half a season. Every game meant something and it was so much fun to watch. Wtih a long, drawn out season, if you watch a game and the players on your team are just not into it, why would you want to put yourself through that again. Especially since the ticket prices are so expensive to.
