Couple thoughts...
No way is the AHL going to Abbotsford IMO. The Giants may play a handful of games out there in 2010, as we've been told they will be out of the Coliseum for ~6 weeks, and will likely kill a few of them with Eastern swings or trips up to Prince George. They are also looking at playing in Langley apparently.
There have also been rumours swirling that it may be the Salmon Kings moving to Abbotsford, and a WHL team being put in Victoria (Kootenay Ice could be moving after this season). Problem is, the Kings draw well, and the consensus in town (I am friends w/ their play by play guy), is that people have been sold on the ECHL product.
