Newfoundland Regiment fans hoping to make history
The Newfoundland Regiment are on the brink of etching their name into Quebec Maritimes Junior Hockey League history. They’re close to setting a new attendance record for a first-year franchise by breaking the attendance record which was set during the 1969-70 season.
The current benchmark for inaugural season average attendance belongs to the 1969-70 Quebec Remparts, who drew an average of 5,216 fans per game. The Newfoundland Regiment have averaged 5,061 fans per game, placing them among the top attended games in the league, and demonstrating the incredible passion of hockey fans in Newfoundland and Labrador.
With only four regular-season home games remaining, the record is within reach. To surpass the Remparts, the Regiment need full sellouts for each of these final four regular season games, including every seat in the bowl, suites, club seating, and restaurant areas.
“This is more than just numbers, it’s a testament to the unbreakable hockey spirit here in Newfoundland and Labrador,” said Glenn Stanford, President of the Newfoundland Regiment. “Our fans have shown up in force all season. Now, we need every Newfoundlander and Labradorian to rally together for these last four games. Let’s pack the Mary Brown’s Centre, make some noise, and showcase to the CHL why St. John’s is a true hockey town!”
