While the official numbers say Saint John's attendance was up this season, we're confident in saying attendance was actually down compared to last year. The difference between the announced attendance and people in the building seemed to be a lot larger than in past seasons. Attendance numbers are always inflated (in every city - not just Saint John), but they were inflated a lot on many nights.
It's hard to say how many fans the Sea Dogs actually averaged this year, but attendance was decent given the on-ice product. Saint John recorded 14 wins in the regular season, setting a franchise low.
