## Resource

Hockey fans are feeling the sting of “enshittification” — a slow, painful decline where the experience gets worse while profits keep rising. From ads on jerseys to sky-high ticket prices, the game’s been stripped of its charm, replaced by paywalls, gambling ads, and rising costs that make fandom harder to afford and enjoy. Once a free, unifying tradition, beloved broadcasts like “Hockey Night in Canada” are now locked behind subscriptions, while the human joy of the sport gets drowned out by commercial noise and financial pressure.
