After low attendance numbers in the first round of the playoffs against the Calgary Wranglers, the Firebirds are expecting better support in the second round against the Abbotsford Canucks. Team officials tell KESQ that the Firebirds averaged around 8,000 fans per game during the 2025-2025 regular season. Despite strong attendance numbers during the regular season, only 4,300 fans attended the team's first home playoff game against Calgary, which is the lowest mark in franchise history.
