I used to live in the area (Agassiz), and still have friends in the valley. We were talking about this, and both the guys I talked to who are Canuck fans say they would love to have an AHL team in Abbotsford - even if it's a Flames farm team. Whether they put their money where their mouth is, is another thing I guess. But they at least support the idea and said they's go see games. It is Canuck country, but people in the Abbotsford/Chiliwack area do see their communities as separate from Vancouver and they have municipal pride of their own.
I am already eying a move back to the area, so I am pumped.
I do feel bad for the fans in QC though. It's not really fair to the people who tried to make it work and followed the team.
