Cheryl over at Hockey Broad has a nice write-up about the ECHL’s Chicago Express, the newest pro-hockey team to hit Chicago. From her post, I learned that the Express, “with their introduction to the Chicago hockey scene, makes Chicago the only major market in North America to be home to an NHL (Blackhawks), AHL (Wolves), and ECHL team.”
Face it, Chicago rules. ;)
The ECHL is one step below the AHL, and has MUCH more affordable ticket prices. I’ll be seeing the Blackhawks next Saturday when they come to town to play the Los Angeles Kings, and the ticket alone was $140. Of course, I refuse to sit nosebleed because I get vertigo, but even $75 for the 200s is pretty steep compared to the $26 on the glass tickets you can get at an Express game. However, I only get to see my Hawks maybe twice a year, so it’s worth it to me.
Anyway, head on over to Hockey Broad to read the full story and check out some of Cheryl’s awesome hockey photography, including the one above which is hers.
