“What’s happening now is, we’ve been seen a huge influx of players. This summer, we’re trying to have a hockey clinic run by the Kings every week in a different rink, and we’re selling them out everywhere. We started at 300 the first year, sold out. This year, we went to 500, sold out in 24 hours. We’re going to 1,000 right away because the demand has been crazy. We’re really seeing this demand increasing. TV ratings are up. Everything is going up.”
