Ha! Oh my god the whole hockey thing in here has been a total farce. First all the actual tickets to the game are made ridiculously expensive in favor of advertizing the paid TV-channels that show the games to the point that the seats are empty in the games, and on top of that they tried to geoblock the games in Youtube (as you can watch the games legally live from Youtube) so that they'd be visible to everyone else except for Finnish people (FOR OUR OWN GAMES), and now that people used proxies to get over the block (which isn't even illegal), the channel owners are crying theft because broadcast right were sooo expensive to them and people didn't pay it when they could watch it for free! Legally!

I'd say all of this could have avoided if they had concentrated on the marketing and ads, and kept the tickets affordable and shown the games from TV free, like they used to be.
