Medicine Hat Tigers see increase in attendance at season’s mid-point

Dec 27, 2024 | 12:39 PM

The Medicine Hat Tigers have reached the halfway point of their 2024-25 Western Hockey League season.

Through 18 home games this year, the team has averaged 3,544 fans, which is an increase of 351 per game over the prior season.

This is the third straight year the team has seen attendance numbers go up, and their highest average since the 2016-17 season.

The Tigers sit 14th of 22 teams in the WHL for average fan support.

But the Tigers are one of only five teams across the league’s 22 to see an increase in attendance this season along with the Prince George Cougars, Moose Jaw Warriors, Prince Albert Raiders and Swift Current Broncos.
