With a citywide population of only 19,000 Yellowknife fans are used to being outnumbered at Burial Ground, their home stadium which seats 66,000. Even including travelling Wraiths fans, at any given sell-out game at least half of the fans are likely to be there for the away team.
After the singing of both national anthems - with no Canadian competition, the Star Spangled Banner and O Canada are sung at all games - Wraiths fans will stand up and bunch up together, both symbolically standing together in a mass of grey and blue bodies over multiple layers of flannel and lycra and practically staying together for heat - the warmest day in football season is 60 degrees (15 celsius), and the average temperature at kickoff during week 1 is 45 (9 celsius).
This can often create a clear separation between the Yellowknife faithful - the fans who are used to the team’s traditions and attend every game - from the bandwagon travelling fans. Success breeds love, and as the only team north of Maryland, Wraiths games are frequently filled with Canadians, especially travelling up from Vancouver, Calgary, and Edmonton, and the difference between the travelling fans and the locals is stark - southern Canadians are less likely to want to huddle up because of how awkward the concept is.
