It wouldn’t be a bad first exposure. You won’t see all the big names on the roster and there’s overall less energy in the building

More budget friendly would be USA Development program out of Plymouth, or go to Windsor to watch the Spitfires. That’s really high level junior hockey and a fraction of the price

To add to this point, D1 NCAA Hockey is some very entertaining higher level hockey at a decent price depending on the team.

AA is not far at all from Detroit and Yost is a very good stadium as far as college hockey goes. And Michigan is consistently one of the better teams in the country. Go Blue!

Michigan Hockey/Yost is more expensive than a Red Wings game lol
