There is nothing like hockey in Canada to bring a commnuity together at least a couple of times a week.

i don't see how you can call Abbotsford a hockey starved community when it's less than an hour's drive from GM place. it would be like the Canucks sticking their farm team in Canmore, how successful would it be in the heart of a rival's territory?
i'm not sure what Ken King and co. were thinking with this move
