re: Why doesn't LSU have a hockey team?

Be honest with yourself.... Would you consistently go to lsu hockey games? As for 99% of lsu fans: no. We can't even pack the PMac on a consistent basis.
The reason the PMAC doesn't fill up is because the project over the past few seasons has been mediocre. If Jones' first recruiting class pans out and he builds upon that, we'll have capacity crowds again.
As for hockey, I wouldn't go consistently but in a 36 game season, 18 home games, I'd go to 2 or 3 games, provided there's a decent product on the rink. Get enough of those people and you have a fan base.

People didn't fill the PMAC for a Final 4 team, they aren't coming to see a crappy hockey team likely playing other crappy hockey teams.

You'd be one of the 30 or 40 people there.

Do you know how many people it would take to fill, or come close to filling the arena, if everyone went to 2-3 games?
I enjoyed kingfish hockey. Went to see the fights and every now and then catch some cool highlights. This fickle fanbase wouldn't let hockey succeed. No first year program will just come in an blow shite up and we wouldnt consistantly put asses in the sears until we made a splash in the league. All it would do is drain funds from other sports.
Id like it. But from a business standpoint It's not a good idea. I'd love to see the ice tigers. Z just wouldn't work here. Just like kingfish.
