I believe all of that is true, although the corporate seat numbers certainly fluctuate year to year.
When people talk about Ottawa as a hockey market, they often forget the success of the 67s and Olympiques, both of whom are extremely solid franchises. There isn't another metro area in Canada that supports an NHL team plus two major junior teams.
