Here is a good article on NHL economics. In the past, economic issues in our league were always centered on a market by market and team by team basis. However this economic upheaval cuts across all of North America. To date, this season our business is very strong here in DC. I would anticipate that if we play well and make the playoffs and have hopes and dreams, we can keep our momentum going into next season. But I do believe we all have to cut back; worry about our fan satisfaction; and offer more ROI on their entertainment dollar investment and be cautious now more than ever.

Thank you to our fans for believing in the Caps and choosing to spend time and money with us. We hope to earn it every game.
