New season, More fans!

Fans consumed NHL hockey in record numbers during In the first five days of the 2009-10 regular season as the National Hockey League roared back into action, building off the strong momentum it built during the 2008-09 regular season and 2009 Stanley Cup Playoffs.

With the season less than a week old, more than 420,000 fans have already attended NHL games. Through the first 25 games this season arenas continued to be filled. Of the 21 games played in North America, 19 were sellouts.

Of the teams who have played in North America, 17 have posted attendance numbers above or even with the comparable number of games from last season, while eight teams have yet to play their home opener.

More than 250,000 fans attended NHL games on Saturday alone, as the League played 15 games in 15 cities in four countries on two continents. NHL teams played to 99 percent capacity during opening weekend.
