Heart goes out to the Caps fans who are incredibly loyal and the Caps Scottish players but this really isn’t a loss to Scottish hockey or the league when you take a step back and think about it. The Caps games are the least attractive on the list and draw the smallest crowds - there is no rivalry. We all want that back but realistically it seems it’s just impossible to make hockey popular in Edinburgh at the moment. Disagree. Nothing is ever impossible. Storm are more popular and better at drawing crowds in than Phoenix ever were just because it's run better and they do all sorts of stuff to get the word out but I've heard stories that there is a hotel opposite the rink and they didn't even know ice hockey was played there. You’re kidding yourself - everyone from Edinburgh is aware that there’s hockey played at Murrayfield- they’re just not interested.
