Probably better than many long standing hockey towns.

You also left out the fact that The Islanders, playing in their "real" hockey town, drew less in 91/92 than the Sharks did. Not very good fan support for a team that brought the area 4 Cups in a row.

Islanders avg attendance
91/92 - 10,039
92/93 - 12,036

Sharks avg attendence
91/92 - 10,888
92/93 - 11,045

While we're at it, let's compare avg attendance figures for the following years.

93/94
NY - 12,171
SJ - 16,593

94/95
NY - 12,574
SJ - 17,190

95/96
NY - 11,356
