They were already out west and it failed bad.
Just do some research on the original IHL and that will be your answer.
The big problem with the ahl is the same as the NHL with a large amount of teams in the north east of the united states.
I dont belive that abbotsford will be around for long because of this. not many team moving out west even if the nhl team wants it west unless they want to have every ahl team playing in thier nhl building and they are footing the bill.
