Average (regular season): 3747/game
Average including playoffs: 3677/game
--Huntington's two playoff games were on a Tuesday and Wednesday, which not surprisingly depressed attendance a bit
Monday games were surprisingly well-attended, averaging 4096/game; granted, one of these four games was the day after Christmas, while another was a special event for schoolkids (noon start, kids got a hockey game, a lecture on education from coach Paul Pickard, and a field trip for $4).
At this point Blizzard attendance had stabilized; there were only three games over 5000 fans in '94-95, yet their overall attendance inched slightly upward. Through 68 regular season games, the Blizzard's average attendance was 3743/game, which if they were competing in the ECHL today would only be about 500 off the league average, but then we're comparing the ECHL at its height (94-95 avg. 5315/game) to the ECHL in decline (4217/game). Still, things were looking promising by the end of that season....
