Those booster clubs tend to be rather excited for their team. Hershey has brought several hundred fans down in the past. It seems like a lot of locals are only excited when there is a fight or a goal. I don’t believe either of those things happened very often against Syracuse. Maybe next time…

Actually, Mike, the crowd did an impressive “Crunch sucks” chant Saturday night. I didn’t intend to downplay the enthusiam of Admirals fans; I was just so intrigued by the organization and fervor of these Crunch fans that I had to know how to get that in my town. I had a lot of fun and intend to be at more Admirals games in the future. I just hope that it gets louder.

The crowds vary in enthusiasm. Three years ago when the Admirals were affiliated with the Chicago Blackhawks and were the best team in the American Hockey League Scope was loud, full and action packed. I remember a game against Hershey with several thousand people chanting “Hershey Sucks” in unison. The Tampa Bay Lightning prospects are improving so hopefully the trend continues and we can have a #1 team in the area again.

Also something to note. The American Hockey League is far from an amateur league. Many of these guys have NHL experience and frequently bounce between the minors and the pros. Goalie Dustin Tokarski just got the call-up to the Tampa Bay Lightning last night after a 4-3 win against Hershey in Norfolk.
