I wouldn't necessarily say he's mum, but more that he won't speculate what would happen if Abbotsford doesn't work out.
Calgary CEO mum on return to Q-C -QCTimes
Quote:
Will the Calgary Flames consider a return next year to the Quad-Cities if the American Hockey League board of governors rejects the hockey team's plans to move its AHL affiliate to Abbotsford, B.C., in a Tuesday vote in Chicago?
That's a question on the minds of many local hockey fans, and one to which organizers of a drive to keep professional hockey at the i wireless Center anxiously are awaiting an answer.
It also is a question to which Calgary CEO Ken King issued a diplomatic no comment on Friday.
"I don't think it would be fair to the people of Moline," King said of addressing that particular what-if. "We are not planning for a fallback option. If the unthinkable should occur, we will deal with that at the time. But I am not prepared to speculate on what might happen if things do or don't work out the way we want them to."
