Perhaps most rewarding of the 2016 rankings were the designations of the top spot in fan relations, affordability and stadium experience, the three categories directly related to those who wear the logo and support the Preds through and through.
Between full-time, part-time and event staff, plus players and coaches, Henry estimates there are almost 1,000 individuals who work to build something special for those fans on a daily basis, with one attribute rising above the rest.
"Everyone buys into the fact that we can be the best at what we do if we all do certain small things, and the biggest one is trust each other," Henry said. "Every day, we come in and evaluate how we did and see what we can do better. That's not always easy to look at yourself and say, 'what could I have done better?' It's even harder sometimes to turn to the person next to you and say, 'we could've done this better.' But that's what we have, and whether people realize it or not, that's what they're doing."
That mindset is working, and once more, it comes back to the Gold-clad individuals to reach ear-splitting decibel levels inside of their home Arena.
"We always say our fans propel our team to victories and that sort of thing, but at the same time with the franchise, they push each one of our employees forward," Henry said. "What we're most proud of is the relationship with our fans, the environment in the building and affordability, because it's a balancing act and it's nice to be sitting here right now."
