That’s an exceptional attendance, but to put it in context, that’s more visitors than most League 1 football clubs and Premiership rugby clubs had last weekend, and almost as many as Centre Court at Wimbledon.
Ice hockey is, by far, the most popular indoor spectator sport in the country.
But there is a constant feeling that it’s a forgotten sport.
There is a bit of TV coverage on a well-hidden satellite channel, but you’d be hard pressed to find out how your local team got on last weekend without visiting their social media.

Again, this could be one to raise a few eyebrows but hockey is adored in India, where there is a population of nearly 1.5bn. The game originated in England in the 18th Century but it is now the Netherlands who are the dominant nation across men's and women's hockey.
