The re-start of the 2022 IIHF World Junior Championship started on August 9th, after a COVID shutdown from January of this year.
Most were expecting poor attendance for a few reasons, including the controversy surrounding Hockey Canada and the middle of summer. It's clear that nobody expected the attendance to be as low as it has been over the opening days.
According to Puck Report, the total number of fans in attendance across both tournament games played yesterday was just 489. To make matters worse, no one was in attendance to watch the late game between Austria and Sweden.
And day five, the numbers were even worse:
