FWIW, this is factually untrue. Hockey has experienced pretty steady growth in terms of attendance between the 90's and 2000's. The highest season thus far by attendance was 08-09 with 23m attendees. The higest in the 90s was right around 20m.
In terms of revenues, it's an even bigger difference from what I've heard, but I can't find a good stat on that one.
