Comparing the leagues in Western Canada and the US at the end of the 2022 calendar year. In some of the lower leagues its hard to know the attendance figures. Some teams started taking it then stopped. Others just didn’t bother at all.

KIJHL Sort of wasted time with trying to find out the attendance of the VIJHL and PIJHL. Some teams only say attendance once in awhile some never even mention it at all. Some teams seem to not even have a home arena.
