Abbotsford Heat: Fanning the Flames' farm team
http://www.vancouversun.com/travel/A...896/story.html
Long article from the Vancouver Sun the other day. Good stuff.
Quote:
Still, there are many variables, the biggest one perhaps being Canuck fan loyalty: the Heat are the farm team of the hated Calgary Flames.
Peary shrugs that one off as easily as a player tossing a sweat-soaked jersey. Back in the early 1960s when he was captain of the Brandon Wheat Kings, who were, at that time, affiliated with the New York Rangers, team loyalties actually meant something. Not anymore.

The team has sold all 300 club seats in the 7,000-seat arena, and has about 2,000 season ticket holders, says Dave Sheldon, the Heats’ director of communications and broadcast.
The team expects to sell out its first regular season game next Friday against the San Antonio Rampage.
