**RIPPLE Comment** According to The Province (recognized source), the Vancouver Canucks' poor performance at Rogers Arena has raised concerns about the team's home-ice advantage and, by extension, the city's underfunding of sports infrastructure. The direct cause is the Canucks' lackluster record on home ice, with only five wins in recent games. This leads to a short-term effect: decreased revenue for the team due to lower attendance and ticket sales. In the long term, this could lead to increased pressure on local authorities to allocate more funds for sports infrastructure development. The causal chain is as follows: * Poor performance at Rogers Arena → Decreased revenue * Decreased revenue → Increased pressure on local authorities to allocate more funds This ripple effect impacts the following civic domains: * Sports and Recreation (infrastructure development) * Municipal Finance (budget allocation) Evidence Type: Event Report Uncertainty: Depending on how local authorities respond to the pressure, it is uncertain whether increased funding for sports infrastructure will materialize. If approved, this could lead to a more equitable distribution of resources across different sectors, including education.
