It transfers over to his game on the ice. He's a very mature player.

So when it's obvious, we've named him the starter. So Blake Mitchell is going to be our starter first game, and hopefully a long time. We'll go from there.

Terry Trippler

Using yield management, you don't have to raise fares to raise revenues, you just make people buy the more expensive fare class.
