Lakers Need More Fans


A call for more fan support for the Fort Frances Lakers junior A hockey club.

Team president Milt Strachan says while the club has improved its on-ice performance in its three past season, lower than expected attendance is body-checking its financial picture in the red.

Strachan says the team is averaging close to 350 people a game, but far less than what they'd like to see.

The club is also looking at new fundraising opportunities and cutting costs to help improve the bottom-line.
